How to evaluate a wallet after opening it

Use this order:
  1. Is the wallet stable over time, rather than only recently profitable?
  2. Does it have a habit of oversized positions or high leverage?
  3. Which markets does it trade, and can you accept their volatility?
  4. Does it add to losing positions?
  5. Are exits disciplined?
  6. Are current positions already too far from the original entry to follow?
The Smart Money list is best for first-pass screening. After opening wallet details, continue with current positions, historical trades, and deeper risk data.
  1. Use filters to identify 10 to 20 candidate wallets.
  2. Open wallet details and exclude clearly high-risk wallets.
  3. Add the remaining wallets to favorites.
  4. Apply labels that explain why you are watching each wallet.
  5. Based on follow-up performance, decide whether to keep watching or create a copy trading rule.

When to exclude a wallet

Consider excluding a wallet, or keeping it only for observation, if you see:
  • very small account size with extremely high returns
  • an equity curve driven mainly by one outsized win
  • current positions with large unrealized profit
  • frequent full-size or high-leverage trades
  • drawdown beyond your acceptable range
  • a recent trading style that is completely different from its past behavior
SeaBond can help you discover wallets faster, but it cannot judge risk for you. Before copy trading, make sure the wallet’s trading behavior actually fits your risk tolerance.
