PredScout Copy Grade is a letter grade shown on a trader's leaderboard row and profile. It summarizes historical evidence relevant to copying that wallet. The grade helps you decide what to investigate next; it does not predict a follower's return.

The current product label is Copy Grade. If you have seen “copyability score” used elsewhere, open the grade explanation in PredScout's Smart Traders area for the meaning of the grade you actually see.

Copy Grade letters A, B, C and D beside a trader profile and magnified historical record.

Where to find the Copy Grade

On Smart Traders, the Copy grade column shows a letter for traders with an available grade. You can filter the list by Grade A, B, C, or D. Select Details on a row, then select Copy Grade on the profile to open its explanation.

The grade explanation says it uses a fixed 30-day rating window. The profile's 7D, 30D, 90D, and All buttons change the other displayed performance figures; they do not change that fixed grade. When you compare the grade with a 90-day P&L, remember they refer to different windows.

What goes into the grade

PredScout says the Copy Grade considers historical performance, drawdown, consistency, profit diversification, execution conditions, and the quality of the available sample. Drawdown means a decline from an earlier high point. Profit diversification asks whether gains came from many opportunities or depended heavily on one.

The explanation panel shows component figures such as profit performance, profit excluding the top event, time stability, profit diversity, drawdown performance, and a score after sample adjustment. These help you see why a letter appeared. PredScout does not present the panel as a simple formula you can use to calculate your own future result, so avoid reading a score of 90 as a 90% chance of success.

Execution conditions matter because you may reach a market after the target wallet did. Even a historically strong trader can be costly to copy when available prices move or the order book is thin.

What A, B, C, and D mean

PredScout's current grade guide describes the letters this way:

  • A: Strong historical evidence across the rated dimensions. Actual copy results can still differ because of timing, liquidity, and slippage.

  • B: Useful historical evidence, with an area or two to check, such as drawdown, sample size, or liquidity.

  • C: Several weak dimensions or a thin sample. The interface suggests testing with a small Paper strategy before considering Live mode.

  • D: Weak performance or a severe loss in the historical evidence.

A missing Copy Grade is not a hidden D. PredScout says it can leave the grade blank when key data is missing or execution cannot be assessed. Missing data lowers confidence, but does not automatically create a D grade.

Use the grade with the rest of the profile

Open Trading style to see typical buy size, trade frequency, and market distribution. Use History to check what the wallet traded. Then enter your planned capital and ratio in the Copy Strategy Calculator. Its coverage estimate can show that your funding or settings would miss many of the wallet's historical trades.

For example, an A-rated wallet whose typical trades are much smaller than the market's minimum after your ratio is applied may not be practical for your account. The grade describes the trader's past record, while coverage asks how much of that activity your proposed setup could attempt.

Treat a PredScout trader rating as one checkpoint. Before copying, make sure you understand the markets, trade sizes, and possible reasons your fills may differ. Use Paper mode to observe the actual signals your settings accept and skip.
