The 2026 ULTIMATE GUIDE TO PREDICTION MARKET COPY TRADING
All the copy trading alpha you will ever need
Copy trading in prediction markets is simple in theory: find traders with real receipts, tail them, and let their edges do the heavy lifting. In practice, edges are category-specific. A Polymarket trader who crushes Politics might light money on fire in Sports, and a Crypto grinder might be totally lost in Mentions markets (where the “fundamentals” are basically: vibes + headlines + the internet being the internet).
So we did your homework for you using Polymarket Analytics (the best prediction market history book around) and Stand’s analytic suite. Below are 12 — count ‘em, 12 — traders across four categories you can follow on Stand with one click and tail in real time.
In this post, we’re looking at:
Category PnL = Gains – Losses
Win rate = % of profitable markets
Active positions = a quick proxy for “still in the arena”
3 Politics Traders to Copy Trade
Politics markets are where narrative meets information. They can be the most “efficient” markets on earth…until they’re not. The best copy trading targets here tend to be traders who can handle whipsaws, size properly, and survive the temptation to turn every headline into a trade.
Trader #1: ImJustKen (aka Domahhh)
Politics PnL: $1,919,179
Win Rate: 62.8%
Gains / Losses: $3,861,993 / $1,942,814
Active positions: 671
Ken’s (aka Domer) edge in Politics looks like the rare combo of scale and discipline: tons of reps, lots of active exposure, and still a strong win rate in a category that punishes emotional trading. Politics markets love to overreact to narrative shifts, then mean-revert the moment the next datapoint drops. Ken seems to thrive in that churn. For copy trading, the signal isn’t just “Ken bought”; it’s when he buys and whether he adds after the market moves against him (conviction) or trims into strength (process). If Politics is a telenovela, Ken’s not watching the drama, he’s reading the script.
Trader #2: YatSen (aka HarveyMackinto2)
Politics PnL: $1,847,459
Win Rate: 73.8%
Gains / Losses: $2,438,020 / $590,561
Active positions: 35
YatSen’s Politics profile reads like someone who’s selective, decisive, and very comfortable putting real size behind a view. That win rate (73.8% in Politics & ranked #20 all-time) suggests he’s not just “spraying”, he’s choosing spots where timing and structure matter. In Politics, the cleanest edge is often positioning into the information calendar (debates, nominations, court dates, economic prints) before liquidity spikes and pricing tightens. Copy trading YatSen is less about mirroring every move and more about treating his entries as “where the smart money is starting to lean.”
Trader #3: Scottilicious (aka ScottonPoly)
Politics PnL: $1,154,286
Win Rate: 85.1%
Gains / Losses: $1,814,155 / $660,969
Active positions: 63
Scottilicious has been a consistent Politics grinder with scale (we covered him in our 2025 US Election post). How else do you get to over $1M PnL on an 85.1% win rate? His biggest win came in the New York City Mayoral Election (+$65,229), a good example of how he tends to press when he sees a mispriced narrative and then just…sits in it. The flip side of that same “size it when you like it” approach is visible in his worst loss: ‘Will Israel invade Lebanon before November?’ (-$60,658), where being early/overconfident around a fast-moving geopolitical tape can sting. Scottilicious frequently leans into “No” legs and spreads risk across related markets rather than one pure punt. He’s one to watch for sure.
3 Sports Traders to Copy Trade
Sports markets are relentless: constant events, constant lines, constant opportunity to overtrade. The best sports traders tend to win via repetition, sizing, and knowing when not to play. Copy trading sports is less “one big bet” and more “follow a system that survives a season.”
Trader #1: kch123
Sports PnL: $10,665,696
Win Rate: 54.1%
Gains / Losses: $50,211,833 / $39,546,138
Active positions: 460
kch123 is what happens when you treat sports markets like a business: insane volume, constant activity, and a massive tag-level PnL that suggests real edge over time. The win rate isn’t “pretty,” but in sports you don’t need pretty. You need positive expectancy and enough repetitions for the math to show up. This looks like a trader who understands that the goal isn’t to be right every time; it’s to be right enough, with disciplined sizing, across a huge sample. That’s why kch123 is ranked the #1 Sports trader on Polymarket. Copy trading kch123 is like tailing a high-frequency athlete: you’re not following one highlight play, you’re following training camp.
Trader #2: DrPufferfish
Sports PnL: $7,211,233
Win Rate: 51.6%
Gains / Losses: $30,180,361 / $22,969,128
Active positions: 622
DrPufferfish is built for sports: huge number of active positions and a PnL profile that screams “I’ve been here, I’ve seen this line, and I’m still hungry.” Sports markets can be efficient, but they’re also emotional. Prices swing on injury rumors, late news, and public bias. Traders who can keep putting on trades without tilting after a bad beat are the ones you want to tail, and the activity here suggests exactly that temperament. If you’re copy trading DrPufferfish, the move is to mirror the pattern - consistent engagement - rather than trying to cherry-pick one bet and call it “strategy.”
Trader #3: 0x006c…16ea
Sports PnL: $5,174,310
Win Rate: 47.9%
Gains / Losses: $13,958,254 / $8,783,944
Active positions: 1
This is a fascinating sports profile because the PnL is enormous, but current activity is low, more “sniper” than “machine.” That can be exactly what you want in sports: a trader who doesn’t feel the need to have action on every game and instead waits for the right setup. The win rate being under 50% is a reminder that sports edges often come from pricing, not prediction. You can lose a lot of markets and still be net-up if you’re taking good numbers and sizing well. Watch for the moments that 0x…16ea is seeing. Because when they show up, they might be seeing something.
3 Crypto Traders to Copy Trade
Crypto prediction markets are their own beast: high volatility, reflexive narratives, and the occasional “what do you mean it moved 12% while I made coffee?”. The best crypto traders tend to be systematic, fast, and very comfortable living in the chaos.
Trader #1: 0xf705…3ca7
Crypto PnL: $1,917,299
Win Rate: 54.4%
Gains / Losses: $2,358,221 / $440,923
Active positions: 96
This wallet looks like a crypto specialist who understands the crypto math. You don’t need to win every market, you need to win the ones that matter with the right sizing. The big tell is the gap between gains and losses. Losses aren’t ballooning, which is rare in a category that happily punishes overconfidence. Crypto markets reprice on momentum, then reprice again on narrative, then reprice again because someone posted a chart with a line going up. A trader who’s consistently profitable here is either extremely disciplined, extremely fast, or both. And that’s exactly what copy traders should want.
Trader #2: 0x8dxd
Crypto PnL: $1,671,783
Win Rate: 53.8%
Gains / Losses: $5,167,958 / $3,496,175
Active positions: 23
0x8dxd has a ridiculous number of positions. This is what ‘experience’ looks like in a market ecosystem. Crypto markets reward repetition because they present similar structures over and over (ranges, breakouts, mean reversion, event-driven spikes), and this wallet appears to have played them all. The win rate isn’t flashy, but the PnL is – suggesting they’re likely getting good prices and staying consistent over time. If you’re copy trading crypto, this is the kind of wallet that can teach you what a ‘system’ looks like when it’s been stress-tested by every coin flip the market can throw.
Trader #3: justdance
Crypto PnL: $1,340,347
Win Rate: 58.4%
Gains / Losses: $4,108,700 / $2,768,353
Active positions: 992
justdance is always on as a crypto trader. Nearly 1,000 active positions is not a hobby, it’s a lifestyle choice. In crypto, edges often come from being consistent and present when the market offers mispricing windows, and this activity level suggests they’re harvesting those windows constantly. A win rate near 60% at that scale is meaningful: it indicates they’re not just participating, they’re winning more often than not. If you’re going to copy trade anyone in crypto, tailing someone who treats it like a full-time job is usually a good place to start (and yes, it’s called justdance because crypto will make you dance whether you want to or not).
3 Mention Markets Traders to Copy Trade
Mentions markets are where prediction markets get weird…in the best way. These questions often trade on media cycles, virality, and attention. The best traders like PredictionMarketTrader are usually fast, opportunistic, and good at reading the internet’s mood swings (which is like reading tea leaves during an earthquake).
Trader #1: Bertapotamous
Mentions PnL: $96,998
Win Rate: 74.7%
Gains / Losses: $125,953 / $28,954
Active positions: 7
Bertapotamous has the exact profile you want in Mentions: high win rate, solid PnL, and enough activity to suggest they’re still hunting. Mention markets move like memes: fast, emotional, and often detached from “reality” in the way only the Internet can achieve. A trader winning here is likely good at anticipating what will dominate the discourse, not what should dominate the discourse. If Politics is a debate stage, Mentions is a group chat. Bertapotamous seems to know which messages are about to go viral.
Trader #2: EscalateFund
Mentions PnL: $88,920
Win Rate: 90.2%
Gains / Losses: $149,597 / $60,676
Active positions: 4
A 90.2% win rate in Mentions is absurd, in the same way it would be absurd if your friend claimed they never lose arguments online. That suggests EscalateFund is either extremely selective or extremely good at picking spots where the market is asleep. Mention markets often misprice timing; when something will trend can be more valuable than if it trends. If you’re copy trading this wallet, treat their entries like alerts: “something is happening” or “something is about to happen,” and they want to be early to the attention wave.
Trader #3: dududududu
Mentions PnL: $73,071
Win Rate: 74.7%
Gains / Losses: $105,506 / $32,435
Active positions: 3
dududududu is a great Mentions follow because the results are consistent without looking like a one-off lucky streak. Mention markets are basically a test of do you understand how attention moves, and the strong win rate suggests dududududu does. The edge here is likely speed and selection. Not every headline deserves a trade, but the right ones can be wildly mispriced early. If Mentions is a drumline, this trader is keeping tempo. Dududududu indeed.
