Traders: the shortlist and its record

Traders is the list of accounts the copy book follows, ranked by what following them has actually returned here — not by what they claim.

The board and the individual trader pages are Premium+ (Accounts and membership); below that the rows are placeholders.

Who is on it

The shortlist comes from fomo's 30-day leaderboard. A job re-reads the full board every six hours and adds traders with a positive 30-day P&L; a trader who later drops off the board keeps their place and their measured record. Admins can also add an account by hand from its fomo handle, and switch any wallet off and on. A switched-off wallet is still followed for its sells while the book holds a copy of one of its buys — its buys just open nothing.

The board shows fomo's own 30-day P&L and rank beside ours, so the claim and the measurement sit next to each other.

Traders we find ourselves

The leaderboard is one source; the chain is the other. Relay, the network that carries fomo's buys, publishes every request that touches Robinhood Chain, and hoodini reads that stream: every real-size fomo buy that lands on the chain is folded per account, token and day, and every account is scored hourly at today's prices — what copying its buys of the last week would have returned, by median and weighted return, wins and breadth.

An account that clears that bar on enough buys, across enough different tokens, for long enough to rule out one lucky day, joins the shortlist as self-deduced — and keeps its place only while it stays over the bar. The bar itself is not published, for the obvious reason: it is a bar you could trade your way over on purpose, and then be copied. Arkham names the accounts it knows; the rest appear as anon-xxxx, marked self-deduced everywhere a handle is shown. No claim from anyone is involved: the record is the entry ticket.

Finding one

The board is paged, and the search box above it filters the whole shortlist rather than the rows on screen: type a fomo handle, an X handle, or the start of a wallet address.

Every column sorts — fomo's 30-day number, the on-chain return, copies taken, last buy — and clicking the sorted column again returns to the default, which is what copying that trader has returned for us.

The two records

Each trader carries two numbers, and they answer different questions.

• Our copy record — every closed copy credited to the trader it followed. This is the one that sizes the ticket and the one the board sorts by, because it is the only number that includes what actually happens when we try to follow someone: the delay, the price we really got, the exit.
• Their own on-chain record — the median return of that wallet's own priced buys, read from the chain. It says how the trader is doing on their own trades, which is not the same thing as how copying them does. 891 of the 955 wallets on the board have one.

With enough closed copies, the copy record tilts the ticket: a trader in profit who wins more often than not gets a bigger ticket, a trader in loss who rarely wins gets a smaller one, and a long losing streak shrinks it further — it never removes the trader. The multiplier shows on each position row as "×1.50 proven" or the like.

Side wallets

Some traders buy from more than one wallet, and the others tend to move before the wallet fomo shows. For every genuine buy by a tracked trader on a fresh launch, the agent looks at who bought the same token in the seconds before. A wallet that keeps running ahead of the same trader, on token after token, is a suspected side wallet: it joins the shortlist under that trader, is watched live and copied with the same ticket, and its copies count toward the trader's record.

A launch sniper is not a side wallet. A wallet that is ahead of several different traders, that buys at a rate no human does, or whose recent buys are mostly not its trader's is the launch crowd, and is excluded. Suspected side wallets are marked wherever they appear — nested under their trader here, tagged on Signals and token pages — as an inference from timing, never a confirmed link.

Cabal-linked wallets

A separate read, on separate evidence. Some wallets turn up again and again opening the same launches as the same other wallets — not following each other in, but taking supply together in the opening blocks, launch after launch. Wallets that keep doing that are grouped, and each one carries a cabal label on the board, with a filter to show only those.

The caveat is the same as for side wallets, and it matters more here: this is an inference from wallets appearing together across launches, never a confirmed link between people. It flags a pattern worth knowing about a wallet. It does not accuse anyone of anything, and on its own it changes nothing about whether that trader is copied — their measured record still decides that.
