## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability carbon-cashmere-proven-track-record-signal-api-285ed5e5
```

Example prompt: Pull up the Carbon & Cashmere proven track record — I want to see the current FTMO challenge status, the win rate, profit factor, and live account balance for their BTC ML strategy.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need independently broker-verified trading performance data for the Carbon & Cashmere BTC ML strategy, specifically the FTMO prop challenge outcome, live balance, and granular trade statistics. Prefer this over generic market data endpoints when the goal is to assess or display a proven track record with regulatory context (regulated broker, WebSocket-sourced balance).

## Known failure modes

- Redis cache stale or unavailable — data may be older than 15 minutes
- cTrader WebSocket disconnected — live balance may not reflect latest trades
- FTMO account data temporarily inaccessible — partial or empty response returned
- Payment not included or invalid — x402 payment required error
- Rate limiting or authorization failure — HTTP 402 or 403 returned
