Audited Track Record
A trading performance record verified by AuditedTrader against raw broker statements. Covers six metrics and a defined time period.
Broker Statement
A document issued by a broker (PDF, CSV, HTML, or XLSX) showing account activity over a period. Used as the primary verification source.
Total Return
Cumulative percentage change in account equity over the audited period.
Maximum Drawdown
Largest peak-to-trough decline in account equity expressed as a percentage of the prior peak.
Sharpe Ratio
Risk-adjusted return: (annualised return - risk-free rate) / annualised volatility.
Win Rate
Percentage of closed trades that produced a positive realised P&L.
Trade Count
Total number of closed positions during the audited period.
Cross-Reference
When an audited trader also has a championship-results record (WCTC / US Investing Championship / BarclayHedge), we verify the AuditedTrader data against the championship audit.
WCTC
World Cup Trading Championships (worldcupchampionships.com). Annual real-money trading competition with Robbins Trading Company auditing.
Championship-Cross-Referenced
A profile flag indicating that the audited record has been independently verified against a championship-grade audit.

The visible seal on each profile confirming independent verification by AuditedTrader.

Account Period
The exact first and last trading day represented by the audited statement.
Redaction
