Copy-Trading High-Performers

Rank Polymarket wallets by their risk-adjusted past profits (return per unit of risk taken), then automatically mirror a weighted basket of the top performers' new trades, with caps so no single wallet dominates your book. You're piggybacking on traders who have a proven edge, and you unwind when a leader reverses.
