An LLM asked for a trading strategy returns three artifacts at once: a natural-language rationale, an executable implementation, and once run, a track record. Whether these are the same object is rarely checked.

We present FIDES, a measurement protocol that treats them as three views to be reconciled rather than one deliverable to be graded. Through dual delivery, a single model call returns both a natural-language strategy with an explicit claimed edge and a self-contained strategy(df) function.

FIDES executes the code in a sandbox against a lag-one out-of-sample backtest and scores three concordance gaps: say to do, do to real, and say to result. On 8 liquid US ETFs across four models plus a two-stage elicitation arm, 40 strategies, 2023 to 2024 out-of-sample, three findings stand out.

First, concordance does not predict profit: only 2 of 40 strategies beat buy-and-hold, and a plain sma(50,200) rule outperforms every model's mean Sharpe. Second, self-assessment is badly calibrated: 32 of 40 strategies claim to beat buy-and-hold and exactly one does.

Third, swapping the language-code judge for a second model flips say to do on more than half of items. Injecting Close.shift(-1) drops do to real by 0.33 on average, while our runtime future-information probe fired on neither clean nor injected code.

We frame FIDES as a protocol for measurement fidelity, not a claim about market performance.
