Gold–Silver StatArb

Version 1.00Published 2026-07-24Developer EAbaseActivations 2 terminalsLicense 1-year term

Overview

A market-neutral pair: it does not bet on gold or silver going up or down — it bets on their ratio returning to normal.

When gold is expensive relative to silver (ratio z > 2) it sells gold and buys silver; when cheap (z < −2) it does the reverse. Each leg has its own ATR hard stop.

Strategy Tester Report

🔌
Backtest unavailable

Returned 0 trades in the 2021-2026 backtest: the gold/silver pair strategy likely lacked second-leg market data in the tester, not a strategy flaw. A re-run loading both symbols' history is queued pending terminal re-login.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Reports are MT5 Strategy Tester outputs with default parameters and control-point modeling on Exness MT5 data; for transparency and R&D only, not investment advice.

How it trades

  • Every H1 bar it computes the gold/silver ratio z-score over 60 bars.
  • Entry at |z| > 2, exit when |z| < 0.5 or if |z| extends past 3.5 (stop). Legs are risk-balanced, not directionally exposed.
A relative-value strategy, not a directional one — it can lose on both legs only if the ratio trends hard, which the 3.5σ stop is built to catch.

Frequently asked questions

What do I get after purchase?

A license key is emailed to you together with a secure download link. Choose your platform (MT4 .ex4 or MT5 .ex5), then paste the key into the EA's License Key field to activate it.

Which platform does it run on?

Both MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). One license covers both builds — download whichever you need. Note: the MT5 build requires a hedging-mode account (the retail default).

How many terminals can I activate?

Up to 2 terminals (for example a home PC and a VPS). The license binds to your MT4 account on first activation.

Does it trade automatically?

Yes — it is an expert advisor that executes its strategy automatically once attached and activated. You stay in control of risk via the inputs.
