Trading Evidence Infrastructure

The evidence layer between strategy is running and I know whether it works.

ZenTrader turns trades, broker state, strategy rules, benchmarks, exits, and diagnostics into a repeatable decision record for systematic traders.

What trading evidence means

A trading journal records what happened. Trading evidence explains whether the process deserved to happen, whether the broker confirms it, and whether the edge is holding up over time.

Rule adherence

Did the trade follow the rules?

ZenTrader treats discipline as a first-class metric: setup quality and sizing limits are scored automatically from every order. Exit logic is logged per trade — scoring it into the composite is next on the roadmap.

Paper-to-live readiness

Does paper evidence survive contact with live execution?

The platform compares paper decisions, broker fills, benchmarks, exits, and readiness gates before a strategy is treated as scalable.

Rolling edge decay

Is the edge improving, flat, or decaying?

30/60/90 day views of win rate, average R, expectancy, and regime context expose when a strategy stops behaving like its backtest or paper sample.

Strategy versions

Which version produced the outcome?

Strategy changes should not disappear into memory. ZenTrader tags decisions by strategy version so revisions can be compared instead of guessed.

Broker reconciliation

Does the broker agree with the journal?

Multi-broker reconciliation turns Alpaca, Kraken, and IBKR-style account state into an audit surface for positions, fills, balances, and discrepancies.

Governance diagnostics

What should block escalation?

ZenTrader is intentionally non-hype: weak samples, stale data, broker mismatch, unclear exits, and poor discipline should slow a workflow down.

Category position

Not another signal product.

ZenTrader owns the operational layer after a strategy starts running: evidence, governance, broker truth, and repeatable review.

Compared with a trading journal

A journal stores trades. ZenTrader adds rule adherence, broker reconciliation, readiness gates, and strategy-version evidence.

Compared with a backtesting platform

A backtest studies pre-live hypotheses. ZenTrader monitors what happens after the strategy touches real broker state and paper/live operations.

Compared with a signal bot

A signal bot tries to produce conviction. ZenTrader records whether conviction was earned, followed, reconciled, and still valid.
