Notable Trades

Serial trader scaling into No

A serial cross-market trader added a sizable No position that accounts for 62% of the market’s 24-hour volume, though their 95% win rate comes with a very high average winning entry price.

  • A $1,152 No buy represents 62% of this market’s 24-hour volume, and the trader already held a larger No position.
  • This wallet has bet across 42 events and 56 markets, with 95% of 3,904 resolved bets winning.
  • The trader’s average winning entry price is 96%, so the strong win rate alone does not establish a meaningful edge.
