What is Binance Futures Smart Money?

Smart Money is a Binance Futures tracker that allows users to discover and follow top-performing traders and traders to showcase their real-time trading performance. Users can subscribe to traders' live accounts, view profits (PNL), returns (ROI), and check current and historical positions.
