How to rank the most profitable traders on a Solana token

TL;DR. Noesis's /besttraders analysis returns the top 100 traders of any Solana token ranked by realized profit, win rate, portfolio value, or SOL balance — with configurable filters. A single call to GET /api/v1/token/{mint}/best-traders returns names, PnL, win rates, trade counts, and Solscan labels for the first 15 enriched traders. Use it to find the smart money and the whales on any token.

Why ranking traders by profit matters

Not every wallet holding a token is equal. A top-10 holder that's a KOL with a 30-day win rate of 78% and $2M portfolio is a very different signal from a fresh wallet holding the same position. /besttraders separates holders and short-term flippers from the traders who have actually extracted value from the token.

This is useful for:

What does /besttraders return?

The output is a ranked list of up to 100 wallets that have actively traded the token, with per-wallet:

  1. Realized PnL in USD — total profit/loss from closed positions
  2. Win rate — percentage of profitable trades across the wallet's full history
  3. Trade counts — buys, sells, and total trades
  4. Portfolio value — combined USD value across all tokens the wallet holds
  5. SOL balance — current native SOL holding
  6. Name / Twitter / Label — for the first 15 enriched wallets (Solscan + KOL cache)

You can sort by any of those and filter by minimums — for example, "top traders with ≥50% win rate and ≥$10k portfolio."

How does Noesis detect the best traders?

/besttraders pulls GMGN's top-trader list for the mint — a pre-ranked dataset of wallets that have realized profit on the token — then enriches the top 15 with Solscan labels for identity. GMGN's ranking internally weighs:

Noesis applies client-side filters (win rate threshold, portfolio min, sort key) on top of GMGN's raw list.

How to run the analysis

Telegram bot

/besttraders EPjFWdd5...

or the alias /bt. With filters:

/bt EPjFWdd5... 60 20000 port

Meaning: min 60% win rate, min $20k portfolio, sorted by portfolio. Sort keys: pnl, port, winrate, sol.

Typical output:

🏆 Best Traders — top 100
  1. 9aB7...Kzm2 · "@alpha_caller" · +$42k · 71% WR · port $380k
  2. 4rEp...Nn01 · "Binance Smart Money" · +$28k · 63% WR · port $215k
  3. ...

SDKs

TypeScript

import { Noesis } from "noesis-api";
const noesis = new Noesis({ apiKey: process.env.NOESIS_API_KEY! });
const bt = await noesis.token.bestTraders("EPjFWdd5...");
// Filter/sort client-side:
const smart = bt.traders.filter(t => t.winrate >= 0.5 && t.portfolio_usd >= 10000);

Python

from noesis import Noesis
noesis = Noesis(api_key=os.environ["NOESIS_API_KEY"])
bt = noesis.token.best_traders("EPjFWdd5...")
# Filter/sort client-side:
smart = [t for t in bt["traders"] if t["winrate"] >= 0.5 and t["portfolio_usd"] >= 10000]

Rust

let client = noesis_api::Noesis::new(api_key);
let bt = client.token_best_traders("EPjFWdd5...").await?;

Understanding the output

Filtering (by winrate / portfolio size) and sorting are done client-side.

How to combine /besttraders with other commands

Chain 1 — Find the ecosystem

/besttraders <mint_a> 60 20000 pnl      → top profitable traders
  → /crossbt <mint_a> <mint_b> <mint_c> → intersect across sibling tokens
  → recurring wallets = the cluster trading this sector

Chain 2 — Profile a specific top trader

/besttraders <mint>                   pick a top wallet
  → /walletchecker <wallet>           full PnL, win rate, activity history
  → /links <wallet>                   wallet connections, funding source

Chain 3 — Distinguish smart money from insiders

/besttraders <mint>                   top traders list
/earlybuyers <mint> 1h 0.5%           early-buyer list
  → intersect to find smart money that bought in early AND profits consistently

Chain 4 — Whale dump risk

/besttraders <mint> sort=port         sort by portfolio size
  → top 5 = biggest whales
  → /walletchecker each → historical dump pattern

When /besttraders can mislead

Caveats

FAQ

What sort key should I use? port (portfolio) is the most useful for "who are the big players". pnl surfaces who has actually extracted from this specific token. winrate biases toward high-consistency traders regardless of size. sol flags SOL-rich wallets that have dry powder to redeploy.

Why are some traders only partially enriched? Only the top 15 get Solscan + KOL cache enrichment per call — this keeps the endpoint fast. The remaining 85 are ranked with raw PnL/winrate data. Pull identity on individual wallets with /walletchecker.

Does /besttraders include wallets that sold? Yes. The list ranks traders by realized profit — wallets that bought and sold (and possibly don't currently hold) are included. This is the key difference from /topholders, which only shows current holders.

Can /besttraders find the dev's main wallet? Often yes — if the dev actively traded the token, they appear in the top traders with very high PnL and usually anomalous win rate or trade count. Cross-check with /dev on the same mint.

How fresh is the data? GMGN top-trader rankings update roughly every few minutes. Noesis does not cache beyond that — each call fetches the latest snapshot.

What's the minimum portfolio filter actually filtering? Combined USD value of all tokens the wallet holds across all chains GMGN indexes, not just this token. A wallet with $50k in bags elsewhere and 0 in this token still has portfolio ≥ $50k.
