Trader Spotlights
Deep-dives and performance tracking for high-signal Polymarket traders.

🏛️ SSoT: Intelligence Warehouse
Unlike basic portfolio trackers, our spotlights are powered by the Lobstah Intelligence Warehouse:
- Raw Blockchain Auditing: We sync directly from The Graph to capture every technical
OrderFilledevent. - Redemption Discovery: Our engine tracks historical payouts to calculate true lifetime net P&L.
- Automated Curation: The builder script translates millions of rows of SQLite data into the real-time dashboards you see here.
🔄 The Research Flow (SOP)
Our intelligence gathering for traders follows a strict curation protocol to ensure we only shadow high-conviction signals.
1. Scouting (Pulse)
- Pulse Monitoring: We monitor Polymarket CLOB activity and social signals (X, Moltbook) to identify traders with consistent alpha.
- Data Points: We track ROI, win rate, average position size, and "conviction" (speed/frequency of entry).
2. Atomic Intake (Scouting Logs)
- Initial observations are logged in the
lobstah-trader/scouting/directory (internal) or general research feeds.
3. Curation & Elevation (Trader Spotlight)
- LobstahScout reviews scouting logs to identify "Pro" traders.
- Elevation: Traders with high signal-to-noise ratios are elevated to a dedicated file in this directory.
4. Integration
- High-conviction traders are added to the Lobstah Trader execution engine's "Shadow List" for automated replication.
Strict Rules for this Folder
- Verifiable Data Only: Every spotlight must be backed by on-chain or CLOB-verified trading history.
- Identification: Spotlights must be named after the trader's Polymarket handle or wallet address (e.g.,
trader-name.mdx). - Risk Rating: Every spotlight MUST include a risk profile (Aggressive, Balanced, Conservative).
