Interpretation guides

Signal Notes

Use these notes when a label, wallet, aggregate, or alert is easy to quote but easy to misread. Each note defines the claim, names its limits, and points to the next check.

01

Method note

Severity is a screening tool, not a verdict.

LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH rank a monitored trade for review. They do not measure guilt, private information, trader skill, or the chance that a position will win.

Data interpretation

A wallet address is a lookup key, not a verified identity.

A public address can connect positions, activity, monitored trades, and a private watchlist entry. It does not prove who controls the wallet or whether several addresses share an owner.

Data interpretation

Monitored volume is not exchange-wide volume.

Polytrack sums trade value from records its monitor captured inside a stated window. The result describes that monitored population—not all Polymarket volume or all activity by the listed wallets.

System transparency

A Telegram alert passes through five separate checks.

A trade must reach an upstream interface, pass Polytrack processing, match an account rule, reach the Telegram Bot API, and arrive in the configured chat. Any stage can add delay or stop delivery.

Purpose

What a Signal Note is for.

These are interpretation guides, not original market research, forecasts, identity claims, or trading advice.

  • The exact claim or unit being defined.
  • The product behavior or source behind it.
  • The limits that travel with the conclusion.
  • The next record, setting, or source to inspect.
