# Audit Signals
**Audit signals are inline risk markers on every Research row — percentages and indicators that flag what needs a closer look before a trade.**
Audit and holder-related signals surfaced inside the Research row.
Audit signals live inside the Audit column on every Research tab. Some rows show a single percentage; others surface holder-related indicators alongside it. The same vocabulary feeds the audit and holder filters on the filter panel, so what you see on a row is what you filter on.
Treat audit signals as *triggers for review*, not as approval labels. A clean-looking row can still hide risk one click away; a noisy-looking row may make sense once you read the token page. The signals are inputs to your decision, not the decision itself.

**Inline markers, not approval labels**
Read audit signals as "open the token page and look closer" — not as "safe to trade".

## WHAT AUDIT SIGNALS FLAG
Use audit signals to spot the kinds of risk that don't show up in price and volume alone.
* **Holder concentration** that doesn't match a real distribution.
* **Insider / bundled supply** indicators above your floor.
* **Migration progress** that's unusual for the row's age.
* **Activity that doesn't match liquidity or volume** — TXNS without depth.
* **Contract-level risk markers** surfaced by the terminal.
## RELATED FILTER FIELDS
The filter panel exposes the same risk vocabulary as ranges — combine signals on the row with floors and caps on the filter for a much sharper shortlist.
* **Audit** — overall audit gate.
* **Migration Progress** — bonding-curve / migration state.
* **Dev Holding** — share held by the dev wallet.
* **Snipers Holding** — share held by sniper wallets.
* **Insider Holding** — share held by flagged insiders.
* **Bundler Holding** — share acquired via bundlers at launch.
* **Top 10 Holders** — concentration in the top 10 wallets.
* **Number of Holders** — total holder count for the pair.
## HOW TO READ A ROW
A signal in isolation is barely useful — read it in context against the rest of the columns.
* Compare the audit percentage with **Live Liquidity** and **Volume**.
* Read **TXNS** with the buy / sell split — one-sided activity is its own flag.
* Check holder-related signals: concentration, insider %, bundler %, top-10 %.
* Open the [Token Page](/graphdex-docs/trading/token-page.md) for the deeper context.
* Never approve a wallet prompt you don't fully understand.
## WHAT AUDIT SIGNALS DON'T DO
* They don't guarantee a token is safe.
* They don't approve a row for trading.
* They don't replace your own review.
* They don't override your Trading Settings — slippage, priority, bribe still apply.
{% hint style="warning" %}
GraphDex surfaces risk signals. It cannot guarantee that a token is safe, liquid, or profitable. You remain responsible for reviewing each token and deciding whether to trade.

## FAQs
Where do audit signals appear?
In the **Audit** column on every Research tab — and as a row of holder-related percentages inline on rows that surface them. The same vocabulary feeds the filter panel's audit and holder filters.
What does the audit percentage actually mean?
It's a risk and activity indicator surfaced by the terminal — read it relative to the row's Liquidity, Volume, TXNS, and holder split. The UI doesn't expose the full formula; treat it as a glance signal that earns deeper review.
Are audit signals an approval label?
No. They flag what needs a closer look — they don't say "safe to trade". Always confirm on the [Token Page](/graphdex-docs/trading/token-page.md) and review [Trading Settings](/graphdex-docs/trading/trading-settings-overview.md) before sending an order.
Can I filter by audit signals?
Yes. The filter panel exposes **Audit** as a gate, plus ranges for **Migration Progress, Dev Holding, Snipers Holding, Insider Holding, Bundler Holding, Top 10 Holders**, and **Number of Holders**. See [Filters and Metrics](/graphdex-docs/research/filters-and-metrics.md).
A row looks clean — can I trade without opening the token page?
Not recommended. Audit signals are inputs to a decision, not the decision. The token page carries the chart, holders, transactions, and order panel — that's where a trade actually starts.
