Legacy algo trader: historical classification

A retained label from the previous classifier. It stays visible until the wallet's next normal classification replaces it with an observed trading style.

Definition

What the label means

Legacy algo trader is a historical classification. The previous rules used repeated activity, short first-to-last trade spans, and whole-cent fill share. They did not detect software or automation. The current classifier no longer assigns this label.

Historical model
The previous rules used repeated activity, short first-to-last trade spans, and whole-cent fill share. They did not detect software or automation.
Awaiting reclassification
Normal processing replaces the stored label; reading a profile does not force a new assignment.
Retained key
The historical algo_trader key stays available for existing links and API filters.
Historical model

Why this label can still appear

This label is retained from the previous model. It is not a new assignment under the current rules.

The basis

An existing stored label remains available until normal processing classifies the wallet again. Its name does not imply that it passed the current rules.

The current model describes both-outcome activity, category concentration, recorded trades per stored market, and category breadth. It keeps performance separate and preserves an ambiguous or limited result when the evidence calls for it.

What the label looks like on a profile

Profiles mark this label as Legacy and Awaiting reclassification. The historical key and URL remain available for compatibility.

Use the current trading-style pages to interpret a new assignment. Do not treat the historical label as current evidence of automation, liquidity provision, a quick exit, or an edge.

What the label does not prove

  1. 01

    A trading style describes the recorded sample. It does not establish intent, software use, order role, holding duration, or future behavior.

  2. 02

    Profit, grades, and risk metrics are separate. A winning or losing record does not change the trading style.

  2. Category focused activity on Polymarket

    One known category accounts for at least 70% of recorded positive USD cost basis, and concentration clearly leads the other qualifying patterns.

  3. High trade density in stored markets

    At least 8 recorded trades per stored market on average, with trade density clearly leading the other qualifying patterns.

  4. Diversified activity across market categories

    At least 3 known categories with positive cost basis, no category above 50% of recorded positive USD cost basis, and known categories covering at least 80% of that basis.
