How Old Is a FOMO Account? Fresh Wallets vs Veterans
FOMO does not display when an account was created, but the API returns fomoCreatedAt and accountAgeDays for any handle, so you can tell a seasoned trader from a fresh account.
A fresh account holding a large position is not the same as a two-year veteran holding one. One might be a new entrant with conviction, the other might be a wash trader or a fresh wallet built to look credible. Account age is one of the fastest ways to tell them apart, and FOMO does not put it on a profile.
The API does. For any handle, it returns when the account was created and how old it is in days.
What you get
curl https://api.fomoapi.io/v2/users/frankdegods
The response includes a profile block with:
- fomoCreatedAt: the exact date the FOMO account was created.
- accountAgeDays: that age in days, already computed.
- averageHoldTimeSeconds: how long the trader typically holds a position.
Why it matters
Account age is a cheap, strong filter. A few ways it gets used:
- Screen out fresh accounts when you only want established traders on a leaderboard or in a copy-trading set.
- Flag the opposite: a brand new account that is suddenly ranking is worth a closer look, either as early talent or as something manufactured.
- Pair it with hold time: a young account with a very short average hold time behaves differently from an old account that sits in positions.
None of this is visible on a FOMO profile, and none of it is on-chain in any convenient form. The account creation date lives in FOMO, and the API surfaces it.
FOMO API is an independent, unofficial data layer for fomo.family. It is not affiliated with FOMO.
