Polymarket Copy Trading Simulator
Backtest any Polymarket trader. Enter a wallet address and see what your returns would have been if you copied their trades.
How the simulator works
Enter any Polymarket wallet address (or pick a featured trader) and choose a time window. The simulator fetches that trader's real trade history from Polymarket and replays every position using your chosen allocation: a fixed dollar amount per trade, or a percentage that scales with the trader's position size.
Results show gross P&L (raw return before fees) and net P&L (after Polymarket's 0.5% taker fee on each copied order). The side-by-side view lets you see exactly how fees affect your bottom line. Maker orders placed by Polyfollow carry no fee, but the simulator conservatively applies the 0.5% taker rate to all trades.
This is a backtest using historical data, not a live portfolio. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Use the simulation to assess a trader's consistency and risk profile before committing real funds. When you're ready, head to copy trading on Polymarket to start following them automatically, or compare multiple traders on the trader comparison tool.

How does the copy trading simulator work?
The simulator fetches a trader's recent activity from Polymarket and replays those trades using your chosen parameters. It calculates what your returns would have been if you had copied every trade, including win rate, total P&L, and individual trade performance.
Is this a real backtest with live data?
Yes. The simulator pulls real trade history directly from Polymarket's public API. However, past performance does not guarantee future results. Market conditions, liquidity, and timing may differ when copying trades in real time.
What is the difference between fixed and percentage allocation?
Fixed allocation invests a set dollar amount ($25) on every trade regardless of the trader's position size. Percentage allocation invests 10% of the trader's position size on each trade, meaning you scale with their conviction level.
Can I actually copy trade on Polymarket?
Yes. Polyfollow lets you automatically copy top Polymarket traders in real time. Connect your wallet, pick a trader, and every trade they make gets mirrored to your account. Start with as little as $50.
