Statistical arbitrage · Market-neutral

Trade the relationship,
not the direction.

A research-backed statistical-arbitrage strategy across three uncorrelated pairs — gold–silver, euro–pound, aussie–kiwi. It profits from how they move relative to each other, not from calling the market. Backtested over 28.8 months, and running on a live, verified account since April 2026.

How it works

A strategy that doesn't bet on direction.

Most strategies need a market to go up — or down. Zareum trades the relationship between two correlated instruments instead, so returns come from how they move against each other, not from calling the market. That is what market-neutral means, and it is the core of the approach.

Three uncorrelated pairs

Gold / Silver

two metals that usually move together; Zareum trades the gap when it stretches.

Euro / Pound

two currencies tied to overlapping economies.

Aussie / Kiwi

two commodity currencies that track each other closely.

Spreading across three pairs that do not move in lockstep keeps the strategy from leaning on any single market.

From signup to live, in three steps

  1. 1
    Connect your account

    Open or link your own MT5 account at a supported broker. Your funds never leave your custody.

  2. 2
    The strategy trades it

    Zareum's master system runs the strategy and mirrors every trade onto your account, scaled to the risk tier you pick (0.5x, 1x, or 2x).

  3. 3
    You stay in control

    Watch every trade in your dashboard in real time. Zareum can place trades; it can never withdraw or move your money. Pause or cancel whenever you like.

The evidence

Two records, shown for exactly what they are.

A multi-year backtest and a live account running real money — labelled and separated, never blended. What matters is not one headline number; it is the shape of the returns: market-neutral, risk-adjusted, and consistent.

A short, recent sample — shown live and not annualized.

Backtested results are simulated and hypothetical, generated over June 2022 – December 2025. Live results are real-money but reflect a short, recent sample. Past performance — simulated or live — does not guarantee future results. Trading carries risk of loss.

Questions

The things people ask first.

How does it actually work?
You connect your own MT5 account. Zareum's strategy runs on a master account and mirrors each trade onto yours, scaled to your tier.
Is my money safe?
Your funds never leave your broker account. Zareum has permission to place trades only — never to withdraw or move money.
Which brokers work?
Pepperstone and AXI (MT5) at launch, more to follow.
Do I have to run it myself?
No. You can self-host the strategy, or choose managed hosting — we run the infrastructure for you for an extra USD 100 a year. Either way, your broker account stays entirely yours.
What is the minimum?
Built for accounts from USD 1,000 to USD 100,000. The practical floor depends on your broker's minimum lot size; we confirm fit at onboarding.
Can I cancel?
Anytime. No lock-in.
