What following a wallet does
Following a Polymarket wallet saves it to your follows. The Following feed and your notification settings then work from the trades 0xinsider has ingested and matched to that wallet.
This is a research workflow, not copy-trading. A followed row shows that the provider reported activity attributed to the wallet. It does not prove the trader's intent, complete position, hedge elsewhere, or future result.
What the Following feed covers
Follow a wallet from its trader profile; an account without Pro follows up to 3 wallets. In the live feed, the Following view narrows the stored large trades to the wallets you follow, 24 hours behind without Pro.
Provider responses can be delayed, unavailable, incomplete, or later reconciled. So the Following view means the followed wallets' activity we have ingested, not every fill at the exchange and not activity delivered the instant it executes.
Interpret notifications carefully
Notification delivery depends on the selected mode, eligibility rules, ingestion completion, account settings, and the delivery channel. A missing notification is not evidence that the wallet did not trade, and a delivered notification is not evidence that the trade is still worth acting on.
When a notification arrives, open the underlying row, inspect its source time and market context, and check how much profile history is available. Treat email or in-app delivery as a prompt to review evidence, not as a trading instruction.
Maintain a reproducible watchlist
Record why each wallet is on the list and which profile evidence supported that choice. Revisit the source history periodically because grades, resolved outcomes, identity metadata, and data completeness can change.
Compare followed activity with market liquidity and independent public information. When something is unknown, write it down as unknown, especially where a profile's history is thin or the data is marked partial.
The steps before this one, finding a wallet's address, reading its positions and settled P&L, and deciding whether it earns a follow, are in the wallet tracker guide at 0xinsider.com/learn/how-to-track-a-polymarket-wallet.
