What each number means

Every figure on a wallet page, with its source and its scope. The scope tag is the important part: a Whole wallet number covers the address's entire life, while a Recent window number is derived from the recent activity this server replayed. Mixing the two is the easiest way to reach a wrong conclusion.

Portfolio and balances

Total value

Whole wallet

Cash balance plus the mark-to-market value of every open position. What the wallet would be worth if everything were liquidated at current prices.

Cash balance

Whole wallet

Stablecoin sitting in the wallet, read directly from the token contracts rather than from an index. Covers pUSD — the token Polymarket trades in now — plus bridged and native USDC for wallets that predate the migration.

Position value

Whole wallet

What the open positions are currently worth. A resolved winner marks at $1 per share and a resolved loser at zero, so this reflects settlement automatically.

Profit and loss

Total PnL

Whole wallet

Lifetime profit and loss. Taken from Polymarket's own series because it includes markets that were redeemed and have since disappeared from the positions endpoint. Its final point matches the public leaderboard.

Unrealised PnL

Whole wallet

Paper gain or loss on everything still held — the difference between what the open positions cost and what they are worth now.

Source: Polymarket /positions

Realised PnL

Whole wallet

Total PnL minus unrealised. What has actually been locked in. The three always reconcile on screen by construction.

Sharpe

Whole wallet

Risk-adjusted return, annualised from the daily curve and normalised by the running equity base so it stays comparable across wallet sizes. Above 1 is strong; below 0 means the curve trended down.

Source: Derived from the PnL curve

Max drawdown

Whole wallet

The largest peak-to-trough fall, in dollars. Two wallets can end at the same PnL having taken wildly different routes; this is the number that separates them.

Trading record

Everything in this section is scoped to the recent activity window, and is labelled “Recent” in the interface. The window is stated under the header.

Recent win rate

Recent window

The share of settled markets that closed in profit. Counted only on markets whose entry and exit both fall inside the window, and only on markets that actually moved — one that settled flat is neither a win nor a loss.

Source: Cash-flow replay

Wins / losses

Recent window

The counts behind the win rate. Markets excluded for incomplete history or a neg-risk conversion are not counted either way.

Source: Cash-flow replay

Profit factor

Recent window

Gross winnings divided by gross losses. Above 1 means the winners outweigh the losers; it shows ∞ when there are no losses to divide by.

Source: Cash-flow replay

Best / worst streak

Recent window

The longest run of consecutive winning or losing markets, read chronologically by settlement rather than by size.

Source: Cash-flow replay

Biggest recent win / loss

Recent window

The best and worst single settled market inside the window. Scoped to settled markets on purpose — an open position that is currently up has not won anything yet.

Source: Cash-flow replay

ROI

Recent window

Net PnL across countable markets against the capital staked in them.

Source: Cash-flow replay

Gains / losses

Recent window

Every dollar made and every dollar lost, before the two are netted off. A small net PnL sitting on top of huge gains and losses is a very different wallet from a small net PnL on top of small ones.

Source: Cash-flow replay

Activity and size

Recent trades

Recent window

Fills in the window. Splits, merges and redemptions are counted separately, because they are settlement mechanics rather than directional decisions.

Source: Polymarket /activity

Recent volume

Recent window

Total USDC that changed hands across those fills. Note this already includes the exchange fee — Polymarket reports a fill net of it.

Source: Polymarket /activity

Recent avg position

Recent window

Capital deployed divided by the markets entered. A rough read on whether the wallet concentrates or spreads.

Source: Cash-flow replay

Avg entry

Recent window

Volume-weighted average price paid, in cents. A wallet averaging 90¢ is buying near-certainties; one averaging 10¢ is buying longshots. Those are opposite strategies and they produce opposite-looking win rates.

Source: Polymarket /activity

Largest trade

Recent window

The single biggest fill in the window, in USDC.

Source: Polymarket /activity

Rewards and rebates

Income that arrives without a directional bet behind it. It is deliberately kept out of the trading record, because counting it there would flatter a wallet that is really market-making rather than predicting.

Liquidity reward

Recent window

Paid for quoting a market and keeping orders on the book.

Source: Polymarket /activity

Maker rebate

Recent window

Paid on a resting order that someone else crossed into.

Source: Polymarket /activity

Taker rebate

Recent window

Paid on an order that crossed the book itself.

Source: Polymarket /activity

Yield

Recent window

Earned on collateral sitting idle in the account.

Source: Polymarket /activity

Coverage and exclusions

Recent window

Recent window

How many events the derived figures were built from, and how far back that reaches. When a wallet has more history than the window holds, the page says so rather than implying completeness.

Source: Polymarket /activity

Markets analysed / touched

Recent window

How many markets could be scored against how many appeared at all. The gap is markets the replay cannot account for: history that starts outside the window, or exposure moved by a neg-risk conversion, which shifts value between markets without a price.
