Limited history for a trading style

The stored sample is too small or lacks usable inputs for the model to assess a trading style.

Definition

What the label means

Limited history means the stored sample cannot support a trading-style assessment. The model requires at least 20 stored markets and usable inputs. This can describe a wallet with a small readable sample even when it has more activity elsewhere.

A sample requirement
The minimum is 20 stored markets, not 20 trades or 20 winning trades.
Usable inputs
Missing or unusable evidence remains explicit.
No performance judgment
Limited history says nothing about whether the wallet's trades were profitable.
Classifier

How a wallet gets the label

The model compares every qualifying activity pattern. It uses stored market records and keeps performance, intent, and execution assumptions out of the assignment.

The basis

Fewer than 20 stored markets, an empty sample, or no usable recorded activity produces Limited history. The model does not fill missing evidence with a plausible strategy.

A wallet that has never reached classification can still have no label at all. That missing label and the explicit Limited history result are both different from Mixed activity, which means a usable sample was assessed.

What the label looks like on a profile

The profile says Limited history and explains the sample where one is available. There is no percentage suggesting certainty about a strategy the record cannot establish.

As the stored history grows, normal processing reassesses the wallet. Opening its profile does not force a classification or fill a gap in its exchange history.

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.

Other labels

Other observed trading styles

  1. Two-sided positions in a wallet's history

    Both outcomes appear in at least 60% of the wallet's stored markets, and that pattern clearly leads the other qualifying patterns.

  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.
