Strategy

Trade the relationship, not the direction.

Zareum runs one thing well: statistical arbitrage on a small set of markets that move together. Here's how it works — and how it's been tested.

The idea

Most trading bets on direction — will this go up, or down. Zareum doesn't. It trades pairs of markets that have moved together for years and bets on that relationship holding. When two of them drift apart, Zareum takes offsetting positions — long one, short the other — and profits as they converge again. Because the positions offset, the strategy cares far less about whether the broader market rises or falls than about the gap between the two closing.

The three pairs

Zareum trades three, each a natural fit for this approach:

  • Gold and silver (XAU/XAG)two precious metals that tend to track each other.
  • Euro and pound (EUR/GBP)two neighbouring European economies.
  • Australian and New Zealand dollars (AUD/NZD)two linked commodity currencies.

Spreading across metals and currencies means the strategy isn't leaning on any single relationship.

Managing risk

Risk is managed structurally, not by prediction. Positions are sized to your account balance and the risk tier you choose, and the offsetting structure limits directional exposure. No strategy is immune to drawdowns — Zareum has had them, in testing and live, and we don't pretend otherwise. What we control is how much is at risk at any time, not whether the markets cooperate.

How it's been tested

Zareum was validated two ways. First, a backtest across 2022 to 2025 — simulated results on historical data, which we label as exactly that. Then, since April 2026, live with real money, independently verified on Myfxbook so the numbers aren't ours to massage. The live sample is still young, so we won't annualise it or dress it up — you can watch it grow.
