Hash the material
A cryptographic hash is a fingerprint of the exact bytes supplied to the hashing process. A one-character change produces a different fingerprint. The verifier must know which file or message was hashed and preserve that original material.
Anchor the commitment
A trusted timestamp or public-chain anchor can establish that the commitment existed no later than the anchor time. The anchor establishes ordering; it does not tell a reader whether the underlying trade was sensible or profitable.
Verify the preimage
A later reviewer needs the original signal terms, the hash rule, the timestamp receipt, and enough context to reproduce the check. If the original message is missing, the timestamp may still prove a commitment existed but cannot prove the hidden contents.
Do not overclaim
Timestamping can help detect retroactive edits to entries, exits, stops, and targets. It does not prove fills, customer execution, risk-adjusted return, or future performance. Those require different evidence layers.
These pages describe the registry's evidence boundary. They do not turn historical evidence into financial advice or a promise of future performance.
