The track-record score
How WhaleRadar ranks whales by consistency rather than size, on a scale from 0 to 100.
Good for: telling a steady whale from a lucky one before you quote it.
Say two whales open BTC shorts of the same size. One has traded steadily for months, the other got lucky once. The track-record score tells them apart: 0 to 100 for how consistently a wallet has traded, not how big it is.

What goes into it
- Return on account over all time, the last month and the last week.
- Whether the three agree: a wallet up in every window scores higher than one carried by a single lucky stretch.
- Account size: small accounts with outsized returns are damped, because one lucky bet on a small book is mostly noise.
What it won’t say
The score is a record of past consistency, not a measure of skill. It won’t predict the next trade, and a large wallet can sit through drawdowns that would wipe out a smaller one. It says whose positions have a history worth reading, not whom to copy.
