What is the Trader Map and how does it work?

TraderMap

Updated this week

The Trader Map is a visual tool in League of Traders that shows, based on real trading data, which users are most actively participating in trading a specific token.

Unlike a simple leaderboard, it helps you understand token-level activity across influential traders and explore the market structure from a trader’s perspective.


🧠 Who is the Trader Map for?

  • Traders who want to track activity for a specific token

  • Users seeking to discover whales or top traders

  • Analysts looking for pattern-based trading groups

  • Anyone interested in data-driven trading insights


🔍 Key Features

📈 Token-Centric Trading Share Visualization

At the top of the Trader Map, you’ll see:

  • Top Gainer Trader (the trader with the largest share increase over the past 24h)

  • Top Loser Trader (the trader with the biggest share decrease over the past 24h)

  • Top 100 Trader Share (total trading share held by the top 100 traders)

Each card shows the trader’s current share (%) as well as their Δ24h and Δ7d change, helping you quickly identify shifting trends.


📊 Treemap (Heatmap View)

  • The main visualization is a treemap, where each box represents an individual trader.

  • The box size reflects their trading share (%) of the token.

  • The color indicates profit/loss performance (e.g., red for loss, deep blue for high gains).

💡 This offers an at-a-glance view of which traders are most active for a given token — and how they’re performing.


🥇 Top Gainer / Top Loser

  • Top Gainer Trader: The trader with the highest 24h share growth

  • Top Loser Trader: The trader with the steepest 24h share drop

You can see the trader’s nickname, exchange, and share metrics right on the card.

Description

Trader Share (%)

The trader's share of total trading volume for a specific token

Top 100 Traders

Traders ranked by cumulative share over a selected period (not average — calculated from total volume traded)


🌐 Social Graph

At the bottom of the Trader Map, a Social Graph shows trading similarity between users.

  • Nodes = individual traders

  • Connecting lines = they’ve traded many of the same tokens

  • Thicker lines = higher similarity in trading patterns

Example: If two traders have frequently traded BTC, ETH, and SOL around the same time, they’ll be closely connected in the graph.

This helps uncover communities of traders with similar strategies, or find influencers in specific token sectors.
