# Smart Money & Analytics

> Understand how Predexon identifies and tracks high-performing traders

**Concepts learning path · 3 of 5.** Smart money is one of Predexon's most-used signals. Understand how wallets get classified so you can use the leaderboard, smart-activity, and smart-money endpoints with intent.

## What Is Smart Money?

Smart money refers to **high-performing wallets** identified by their trading metrics. Predexon analyzes all trading activity on Polymarket and classifies wallets based on realized P\&L, ROI, win rate, volume, and trade count.

By tracking what these profitable traders are doing, you can discover markets with informed interest and understand how skilled traders are positioning themselves.

## Wallet Classification

Every wallet with sufficient trading history receives a set of **boolean labels** and a computed **primary trading style**.

### Trading Styles

| Style             | Description                                  |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `WHALE`           | Large position sizes and high volume         |
| `MARKET_MAKER`    | Provides liquidity on both sides             |
| `ACTIVE_TRADER`   | High trade frequency                         |
| `BUY_AND_HOLD`    | Takes positions and holds through resolution |
| `DEGEN`           | High-risk, high-frequency trading            |
| `HIGH_CONVICTION` | Concentrated positions in few markets        |
| `CONTRARIAN`      | Trades against prevailing sentiment          |
| `VALUE_HUNTER`    | Targets perceived mispricings                |

Each wallet can have multiple boolean labels (e.g., `is_whale`, `is_market_maker`, `is_contrarian`) in addition to a single `primary_trading_style`. This lets you build custom filter combinations.

## Smart Money Endpoints

### Smart Activity Markets

`GET /v2/polymarket/markets/smart-activity` - Discover which markets high-performing wallets are actively trading. You define "smart" using filter criteria, and the API ranks markets by smart wallet activity.

### Smart Money Positioning

`GET /v2/polymarket/market/{condition_id}/smart-money` - For a specific market, see how profitable traders are positioned. Returns:

* Number of smart wallets as net buyers vs sellers
* Average entry prices
* Total volume from smart wallets
* Total P\&L from smart wallets

## Analytics Endpoints

### Leaderboard

`GET /v2/polymarket/leaderboard` - Ranked list of wallets by trading performance. Filter by trading style, P\&L range, volume, and win rate.

### Cohort Stats

`GET /v2/polymarket/cohorts/stats` - Compare aggregate performance across trading style cohorts. See which styles perform best overall.

### Filter Wallets

`GET /v2/polymarket/wallets/filter` - Find wallets that traded specific markets using AND/OR logic, filtered by combined performance metrics.

### Top Holders

`GET /v2/polymarket/market/{condition_id}/top-holders` - Get the largest position holders in any market, ranked by position size. Filter by Yes or No side.

### Wallet Profile

`GET /v2/polymarket/wallet/{wallet}` - Full profile for a single wallet including all metrics, style classifications, and boolean labels.

### Similar Wallets

`GET /v2/polymarket/wallet/{wallet}/similar` - Find wallets with overlapping market activity. Useful for detecting copy-trading patterns and discovering traders with similar strategies.

## Minimum Filter Requirements

Smart money endpoints require at least **one strong filter** to ensure meaningful results:

| Filter             | Minimum Threshold                                        |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `min_realized_pnl` | ≥ 5,000 (smart activity) or ≥ 1,000 (market positioning) |
| `min_total_pnl`    | ≥ 5,000 (smart activity) or ≥ 1,000 (market positioning) |
| `min_roi`          | ≥ 0.15 (15%)                                             |
| `min_trades`       | ≥ 100                                                    |
| `min_volume`       | ≥ 10,000                                                 |

`min_win_rate` and `min_profit_factor` are only valid when combined with `min_trades ≥ 50`.

## Requirements

All smart money and analytics endpoints require a **Dev plan or higher**. See [Rate Limits & Plans](/rate-limits) for details.
