Wallet tracking
Wallet data freshness and historical coverage
Freshness describes how recent an observation is. Coverage describes how much of the intended history is available. A fresh position table does not prove complete historical coverage, and a complete old trading window does not prove the wallet’s current exposure is unchanged.
Use the observation time, not the page-load time
Loading a page now can retrieve a snapshot collected earlier. Distinguish the page’s review date, the document generation time and the underlying account’s as-of time. For a research note, record the market-data timestamp associated with the metric you used. Editorial update dates on a guide describe the guide, not the age of a wallet position.
Different sections can rely on different inputs. A balance summary, historical trade analysis and market price may update at different moments. If a change looks inconsistent, compare those timestamps before assuming the account took an unusual action.
Coverage is specific to a window and a metric
A wallet can have usable seven-day history but incomplete ninety-day history. A fills-based statistic needs executions, while a cash-flow-adjusted portfolio return also needs suitable account values and capital movements. Knowing the current balance alone cannot reconstruct every missing performance observation.
WalletFollow marks gaps rather than claiming a result unsupported by inputs. A null or unavailable field is distinct from a measured zero. Zero wins means observed activity produced no wins; an unavailable win rate means the calculation lacks what it needs.
Small samples can look more certain than they are
Three successful trades can produce a high win rate without establishing a repeatable process. A smooth chart can reflect widely spaced observations that miss a sharp intraday loss. An apparently inactive period can mean no observed fills, but the account could still be holding a leveraged position and paying funding.
When comparing traders, align both the period and the evidence quality. A shorter well-covered record may be more interpretable than a longer record with major gaps, but it still offers less evidence across changing market conditions.
Handle uncertainty in your workflow
Document which questions the available data can answer. Current exposure can support a concentration review even if historical profit factor is unavailable. Avoid combining supported and unsupported metrics into a confident overall verdict. For AI analysis, ask the assistant to preserve missing-value reasons and carry the relevant timestamps into its final answer.
- Record the oldest material input in a combined analysis.
- Treat gaps as unknowns.
- Refresh before acting on current exposure.
- Do not join backtested and observed history as one track record.
