Following other traders

How to build a curated view of the traders you want eyes on.

Written by Klutch

You can follow any trader on fomo by tapping Follow on their profile, on a trade's details, or on a new trader card in the feed. On the web app, hovering a trader's name opens a card with a Follow button.

Following a trader adds their activity to your Following feed, so you see their buys, sells, and thesis posts.

It also adds them to the Following view on the Leaderboard tab, the fourth tab in the bottom navigation bar: open the filters and switch on Following to see only the people you follow. If you don't see that filter, update the app.

That view ranks the people you follow by their PnL in dollars over 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days, and you can narrow it to tokens or perps. The web app's leaderboard has no following view.

Alerts and the follow cap

If you follow a trader and have notifications on, you also get alerts for their buys and sells above a minimum trade size you choose. The settings are under Settings, Notifications, Following activity, where you can also pause the alerts or turn them off for individual traders.

There is a cap on how many traders you can follow, and it is intentional. It applies to accounts that haven't traded much yet, and it lifts once you have done some trading on fomo. If you hit it, nothing is wrong with your account.

Separately, the app limits how many new follows go through in a short stretch. If a follow doesn't stick and the button goes back to Follow, nothing is wrong with your account either; try again a little later.

Managing who you follow

To see everyone you follow, tap your Following count on your profile page. Each person in the list has a follow button, so you can manage who you follow from there, and your Followers list sits beside it.

When you find a trader whose strategy or perspective you want to track, following them is how you stay connected to their moves.
