Calculation

How the Today Copy-Trading Score Works

The copy-trading review scores only rateable, independent Today activity. It first reconstructs eligible completed Pump core positions and withholds scores when history, coverage or economic gates fail.

Input scope

  • Only successfully attributed Pump core TradeEvent buys and sells available in the Today retained snapshot enter reconstruction; Pump AMM and other venues are excluded.
  • Routed trades enter only when the account is the resolved trader and the execution emitted a Pump core TradeEvent.
  • SOL and WSOL values are used directly. USDC is converted with the current SOL/USD rate; a missing rate leaves a review with USDC pending. Unknown quote mints are excluded from scored values.
  • Raw means reconstructed from observed quote amounts plus available Pump, creator and buyback fees and cashback. It is not complete wallet accounting or financial advice.

Position reconstruction

ItemRule
Cycle startThe first observed buy when observed inventory for the mint is zero.
Additional buysIncrease observed token inventory and raw acquisition cost.
Partial sellsRelease proportional observed cost basis.
ClosureObserved sells reach at least 99.9% of observed bought tokens.
Raw buy costbuy quote + Pump fee + creator fee + buyback fee - cashback, floored at zero.
Raw sell proceedssell quote - Pump fee - creator fee - buyback fee + cashback, with the combined value floored at zero.
Raw reconstructed P&Lraw sell proceeds - raw buy cost.
Raw quote volumeobserved buy quote + observed sell quote before fee and cashback adjustments.
Excluded cyclesCreator-owned, unknown-quote, conversion-unavailable, open, left-censored and transfer-contaminated cycles do not enter scores.

Classification before scoring

Creator-focused, entry-heavy and exit-heavy activity is described but not rated.

ClassRule
Creator-focusedAt least 50% of observed cycles involve tokens created by the account, or at least 50% of supported observed buy cost is attributable to those tokens.
Entry-heavyAt least 10 usable events and at least 90% are buys.
Exit-heavyAt least 10 usable events and at least 90% are sells.
Independent tradingNone of the preceding classifications applies.

Rating eligibility gates

Zero to nine eligible completed positions results in Insufficient History; 10 to 19 results in Preliminary. A failed coverage or economic gate, or a non-independent classification, results in Not Rateable. Loading inputs or conversion gaps result in Pending.

  • Complete Today trade-history and account inputs, with every required quote conversion available.
  • Creator-owned activity below 50% by both observed cycle count and supported buy cost; buy and sell event shares each above 10%.
  • At least 20 eligible completed positions, five distinct eligible mints and activity in one clock-hour bucket.
  • At least 0.5 SOL total raw observed buy cost and 0.01 SOL median raw observed buy cost.
  • No more than 10% unknown-quote events, 20% left-censored sells and 30% open observed cost share.

Interpretation limits

The review excludes network and priority fees, validator tips, router/platform fees, token-account rent, unobserved transfers, open-position market value, follower latency and slippage, liquidity/capacity, market-relative alpha, holder overlap and coordinated-wallet signals. Results describe the retained Today window and do not predict future performance.
