ZenTrader is a governance and evidence layer for multi-broker trading that reconciles trades across five live brokers into a single, auditable decision record. The platform provides rule adherence scoring, paper-to-live readiness gates per asset class, and a champion/challenger loop where strategies must prove themselves in shadow before going live. It also offers a developer middleware API with TimescaleDB market data and TradingView webhook integration for automated signal routing.

Problem
Systematic and semi-systematic traders often operate across multiple brokers and struggle to verify whether their live trades actually follow their stated rules and strategies. Without a unified evidence trail, traders cannot objectively assess rule adherence, compare paper-trading performance against live results, or determine when a strategy is ready to scale from demo to real capital. This lack of auditability leads to emotional decision-making, inconsistent execution, and difficulty improving processes over time.
Solution
ZenTrader provides a governance layer that reconciles trades across five live brokers — Kraken, Binance, Coinbase, Alpaca, and Saxo — into one provable evidence loop. The platform automatically checks rule adherence against stated setup, sizing, and exit rules; measures paper-to-live readiness per asset class; and runs a closed champion/challenger loop where challenger strategies must prove themselves in shadow before promotion. Users can inspect audit trails, review MFE/MAE exit diagnostics, and compare performance against relevant benchmarks. The platform also includes a developer middleware API with TimescaleDB market data and TradingView webhook integration, enabling automated signal routing with governance risk gates like Kelly Sizing and EMA-200 trend filters.
Target Audience
Primary users are systematic and semi-systematic traders who need auditability and process proof, including paper-to-live traders scaling exposure, crypto and equity traders wanting broker sync and benchmarks, and operators seeking rule adherence diagnostics instead of black-box signal feeds.
