Polytrack methodology
How Polytrack screens a trade.
Polytrack assigns LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH to trades it receives by checking configured activity signals around the trade, market, and wallet. Severity sets review priority. It does not identify a trader, prove intent, or predict whether a position will win.

A received trade becomes one monitored record.
The monitor validates the trade fields it receives and stores the available market, outcome, side, wallet, time, price, and size. It then attaches market and wallet context where the relevant source returns it.
That record belongs to Polytrack's monitored set. It is not proof that the feed contains every Polymarket trade, every field, or the wallet's complete history.
- Trade value uses the size and price fields available to the monitor.
- Market names and outcomes come from upstream metadata.
- Missing context stays missing; Polytrack does not fill it with sample values.
The classifier checks three kinds of context.
The classifier can combine several conditions. One strong condition may raise severity even when the others are quiet. Exact production thresholds remain private so they cannot be treated as universal definitions or tuned against by outside actors.
- Trade and short-window activity: size, accumulated volume, and change from a market baseline.
- Market context: price movement, market sensitivity, and directional concentration.
- Wallet pattern: new-wallet context, activity across several wallets, and prior flags.
Severity sets review priority.
LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH describe how strongly a monitored record matched the configured screening conditions. HIGH records can qualify for account alerts. The label says nothing about guilt, identity, private information, or expected return.
- LOW: the record was retained with limited alert evidence.
- MEDIUM: stronger conditions make the record more useful to inspect.
- HIGH: the strongest configured conditions were met and the record may be eligible for alerts.
Aggregates inherit the monitored set.
Analytics and leaderboards group the stored records inside a stated window. They can sum trade value, count records or distinct addresses, and rank categories, markets, or wallets.
Those results describe Polytrack coverage. They are not total Polymarket volume, open interest, verified trader counts, or risk-adjusted performance.
FAQ
Questions about the classifier.
Is severity a win probability?
No. It ranks a monitored trade for review; it does not estimate the outcome of the market or position.
Does HIGH mean insider trading?
No. HIGH does not establish identity, intent, private information, coordination, illegality, or future direction.
Why are exact thresholds private?
They are operational classifier settings. Polytrack publishes the signal categories and interpretation limits without exposing values that could be gamed.
Are Polytrack aggregates exchange-wide?
No. They describe records in Polytrack's monitored set and the displayed window.
