Start with identity and period
Record the broker or administrator, account identifier or redacted reference, base currency, start date, end date, and whether the record is complete. A statement that begins after a losing period or omits deposits and withdrawals can distort the apparent return.
Recalculate instead of copying
Return should be recomputed from the available equity or balance series and adjusted for external cash flows where the data permits. Maximum drawdown should be measured peak to trough. Sharpe ratio requires a defined return series and frequency. Win rate and trade count must use the same closed-trade population.
Keep personal and product claims separate
A broker statement can support the account and period it covers. It does not automatically prove that a signal product produced the same result, that subscribers received the same fills, or that a public model history maps to that account.
Publish the limitations beside the number
A defensible record shows the exact period, the evidence class, any missing fields, and the review date. Where a metric cannot be recalculated reliably, the registry should say so rather than interpolate a value.
These pages describe the registry's evidence boundary. They do not turn historical evidence into financial advice or a promise of future performance.
