FAQ
Everything you need to know about verified track records, TWR methodology, zero-knowledge security, and how AuditZK fits into your workflow.
Category
AuditZK is a verified trading track record platform. We pull daily equity snapshots directly from your exchange or broker via read-only API, compute Time-Weighted Return (TWR) and risk metrics inside an AMD SEV-SNP hardware enclave, and produce cryptographically attested performance reports that investors and prop firms can verify independently.
Screenshots and broker exports are trader-controlled: they can be edited, filtered, or selectively shared. AuditZK captures data independently from day one, continuously, with no gaps and no human intervention. The result is a cryptographically signed report that third parties can verify without trusting you or us.
Connection takes about 2 minutes: generate a read-only API key on your exchange, paste it into AuditZK, and snapshots begin accumulating immediately. Your first metrics appear after about 24 hours of data. Meaningful statistical metrics (Sharpe, drawdown) require 2-3 months minimum.
No. Connection is a copy-paste of an API key. All calculations, reports, and attestations are generated automatically. The platform is designed for independent traders, prop traders, and small fund managers who want institutional-grade reporting without building it themselves.

Yes. API keys are transmitted directly to an AMD SEV-SNP hardware enclave via HTTPS, bypassing our web servers. They remain only in isolated encrypted enclave memory and are never accessible to AuditZK staff or systems. We only require read-only permissions, no trade, withdraw, or transfer rights.
Yes. Only daily returns and volumes are exposed in the report. Individual trades (entry/exit prices, timing, positions, pairs) remain inside the secure enclave and are never exported, never displayed, and never accessible, not even to AuditZK.
Each report includes a cryptographic signature generated inside the SEV-SNP enclave. Third parties can call our public verification API with the report's attestation to confirm the data was computed inside a certified enclave and has not been tampered with, without ever seeing your trades.
AMD SEV-SNP (Secure Encrypted Virtualization, Secure Nested Paging) is a hardware-level security feature that creates fully encrypted, memory-isolated execution environments. Even AuditZK engineers with full server access cannot read enclave memory. It's the same class of technology used by cloud providers for confidential computing.

Yes. The Free plan includes 1 exchange connection, a basic dashboard, a static report over 90 days, and daily synchronization. No credit card required to start. All plans include AMD SEV-SNP zero-knowledge verification.
Starter ($19/mo) adds a complete dashboard, full metrics with benchmarks, and password-protected shareable reports. Pro ($49/mo) adds 5 exchanges, live auto-updating reports, multi-exchange aggregation, and attestation PDFs. Enterprise ($299/mo) adds unlimited exchanges, white-label branding, REST API access, scheduled email reports, and priority support.
Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time directly from your dashboard. Annual plans come with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Your track record history is preserved even after downgrading.
Yes. Annual billing offers a discount compared to monthly billing, equivalent to roughly two months free per year. The exact discount is shown on the pricing page when you toggle between monthly and yearly billing.

Time-Weighted Return (TWR) isolates a trader's investment skill by neutralizing the effect of deposits and withdrawals. Absolute PnL and naive ROI are distorted by capital flows, a trader adding $100k mid-year shows inflated raw gains. TWR is the GIPS standard for comparing managers on equal footing and is required for credibility with institutional allocators.
Under idealized IID assumptions, a Sharpe ratio of 1.0 requires around 4 years of daily data for 95% statistical confidence. Real markets exhibit autocorrelation and fat tails, which multiply this by 2-4x. A realistic estimate for a Sharpe of 1.0 is 5-10 years of continuous daily data. Shorter records should be evaluated with the Deflated Sharpe Ratio.
Every report includes TWR, Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, maximum drawdown, Value at Risk (VaR), volatility (annualized), win rate, and a daily equity curve. Pro and Enterprise reports add benchmark comparisons (S&P 500, Bitcoin) and multi-exchange aggregation.
The Deflated Sharpe Ratio (DSR), introduced by Bailey and López de Prado in 2014, adjusts the observed Sharpe for four factors: non-normality of returns (skewness and kurtosis), number of strategies tried before selecting this one, length of the track record, and a non-zero benchmark Sharpe. Most publicly shared track records fail the DSR test, making it the gold standard for serious allocators.

Independent traders preparing to raise capital, prop traders running multiple funded accounts on MT5 or cTrader brokers (FTMO, MyFundedFX, The Funded Trader and similar firms whose funded accounts route through supported brokers like IC Markets, Pepperstone, FxPro, Headway, Vantage, Exness) who want a unified verified track record, small hedge fund managers needing institutional reporting, quant researchers documenting live performance, and family offices conducting due diligence on external managers.
Yes, but compatibility is determined at the broker level, not the platform level. AuditZK's MT5 bridge connects to specific broker servers, currently IC Markets, Pepperstone, FxPro, Headway, Vantage and Exness, plus native cTrader support. If your prop firm funded account is hosted at one of these brokers, AuditZK can aggregate it. Many forex/CFD prop firms (FTMO, MyFundedFX, The Funded Trader, FundedNext and others) route some of their funded accounts through these brokers; others use proprietary servers that are not supported today. Futures-only prop firms running on TopstepX, NinjaTrader or Tradovate are not supported. Once your accounts are connected, AuditZK aggregates them into a single certified performance profile, one TWR curve, one Sharpe, one drawdown, cryptographically verifiable. The full list of supported brokers is on the supported-brokers page.
Yes. Connect your exchange in read-only mode and daily equity is captured automatically. When you're ready to raise capital, months or years of verified performance are already documented, which is exactly what investors require during due diligence. Many fund launches use the preceding 2-3 years of personal trading as their initial track record.
Yes. Every plan produces a shareable report link. Starter and above add password protection. Pro and Enterprise add custom branding, attestation PDF, and custom URLs. Investors can verify authenticity directly through our public attestation API without needing an AuditZK account.

AuditZK supports major cryptocurrency exchanges (Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bitget), MT5 brokers (IC Markets, Pepperstone, FxPro, Headway, Vantage, Exness), cTrader, and Interactive Brokers (IBKR). Enterprise customers can request additional integrations. Pro and Enterprise plans aggregate performance across multiple accounts into a single verified track record.
Yes. Pro and Enterprise plans support multi-exchange aggregation. Connect several exchange accounts and AuditZK consolidates them into a single TWR curve, preserving the proper handling of cross-account cash flows so the aggregate is mathematically correct.
Yes. AuditZK has a dedicated MetaTrader bridge that connects to MT5 accounts via supported brokers (IC Markets, Pepperstone, FxPro, Headway, Vantage, Exness) and native cTrader support. Equity snapshots are captured daily and flow into the same enclave-based computation pipeline as crypto exchanges. MT4 is not currently supported.
Yes, on the Enterprise plan. The REST API lets you fetch snapshots, metrics, and attestations programmatically, useful for integrating verified performance data into internal dashboards, investor portals, or compliance workflows.
