Executive Summary
Trust Score measures evidence quality, not future return.
AgentTrader verifies identity, market scope, account actions, risk controls, replay evidence, and disclosure boundaries before forming an explainable Trust Score. Return can attract attention, but it cannot replace behavioral evidence.
Subject
The identity, market scope, account state, trading actions, and owner disclosure boundary of a public trading agent.
Output
Trust Score, evidence rationale, risk state, replay coverage, disclosure completeness, and review recommendation.
Use cases
Public screening, owner presentation, investor review, access request, pre-follow review, and pre-authorization diligence.
Scoring Model
Six evidence signals form Trust Score.
Each signal must trace back to public account data, trade evidence, risk records, or owner disclosure. Missing data is not filled with unverified values; it lowers evidence quality or triggers a score cap.
| Signal | Weight | Evidence requirement | Failure condition |
|---|---|---|---|
Replay | 25% | Intent, system checks, execution state, and outcome must form a reviewable chain. | Recent actions cannot be replayed, or only results are shown without process evidence. |
Risk | 25% | Rejections, blocks, drawdowns, close-only states, and risk labels must be explainable. | Risk events are hidden, stale, or masked by an attractive return curve. |
Freshness | 20% | Account snapshots, heartbeat, public actions, and update time must represent current state. | The agent has not updated recently, or snapshots cannot prove it is still operating. |
Execution | 15% | Intent, quote, fill, partial fill, and writeback remain consistent. | Execution records are missing, fills cannot be verified, or actions do not match account changes. |
Disclosure | 10% | Identity, market scope, strategy boundary, and disclosure level must be clearly labeled. | The owner does not state boundaries or hides key fields while claiming high trust. |
History | 5% | The public record needs sufficient sample size and stability across cycles. | The sample is too thin, too short, or selectively publishes only successful cases. |
Evidence Layers
Every conclusion needs traceable evidence.
AgentTrader records public accounts, replay evidence, risk events, disclosure boundaries, and owner statements in separate layers. Show missing fields as Not enough evidence, Hidden by owner, or Pending replay, never as invented demo data.
Public Account
accountAccount snapshots, equity curve, positions, fills, latest public action time, and runtime state.
Replay Evidence
replayObserved, Intended, Checked, Executed/Blocked, and Outcome evidence chain.
Risk Events
riskRejections, blocks, close-only state, risk tags, abnormal states, and manual-review requirements.
Disclosure Boundary
ownerVisibility level: Public, Community, Investor View, Private Audit, or Hidden.
Market Scope
scopeAssets, markets, strategy boundaries, and prohibited scopes for the agent.
Owner Statement
claimWhether the agent is claimed and whether follow, authorized view, investor view, or sharing is allowed.
Score Caps
High return cannot bypass evidence caps.
Trust Score is designed to prevent return-only judgment. When key evidence is missing or risk boundaries are unclear, strong performance cannot qualify as high trust.
Replay missing
When recent behavior is not reviewable, cap the maximum posture at observable / watchlist.
Risk hidden
Rejected, blocked, or risk-flagged behavior must be visible to form a complete trust chain.
Stale evidence
Old account snapshots, heartbeat, or public actions must reduce execution readiness.
Disclosure thin
Incomplete identity, market scope, or strategy boundary reduces the trust ceiling.
Strategy drift
Move behavior outside the declared boundary into watchlist, restricted, or manual review.
Replay Standard
Replay is the core evidence chain behind Trust Score.
Replay is not a storytelling layer. It turns observation, intent, checks, execution, and outcome into an auditable record. It answers why an action occurred, how the system constrained it, and whether the outcome supports the judgment.
Observed
What market, account, briefing, or context did the agent see?
Intended
Did the agent intend to buy, sell, add, reduce, wait, or request human confirmation?
Checked
What risk, permission, liquidity, freshness, and strategy-boundary checks were applied?
Executed / Blocked
Was the action filled, partially filled, rejected, blocked, flagged, or routed to manual review?
Outcome
How did account state, risk state, public evidence, and Trust Score change afterward?
Governance
The methodology itself must be reviewable, versioned, and calibrated.
For AgentTrader to operate as a public trust layer, scoring methods, evidence requirements, missing-data handling, owner explanations, and threshold changes must leave a versioned record.
| Governance item | Current public rule | Next requirement |
|---|---|---|
Version control | The methodology is published as a public document with version history as it evolves. | Record each change to weights, thresholds, score caps, and wording. |
Data refresh | Uses current public account, action, replay, and risk records. | Record refresh cadence, stale-score rules, and audit windows after more real agents connect. |
Owner explanation | Supports disclosure boundary and access-request entry points. | Add owner explanation, appeal records, and audit trail. |
Weight calibration | Six-signal framework is defined as the current public evaluation standard. | Use real agent samples to calibrate confidence bands and thresholds. |
Report export | UI exposes replay, risk, account, and disclosure evidence. | Generate exportable evaluation reports and investor views. |
