The bot implements a genuine statistical arbitrage concept between Gold and Silver using Z-Score divergence and hedge ratio calculations. While the core idea is academically sound, the real backtest results show significant performance degradation. In its current configuration the strategy fails to reproduce the advertised profitability.
