Agent 3 — Gold/Silver Ratio
Rotates between gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) to grow ounces of metal, using the gold/silver price ratio as the trigger.
- When the ratio rises above 80, silver is cheap relative to gold — sell GLD, buy SLV. The point isn't capturing a dollar gain; it's that the rotation should produce more ounces of silver than the prior silver-side leg held.
- When the ratio falls below 50, gold is cheap relative to silver — sell SLV, buy GLD. Same logic in reverse.
- In the 50-80 band, the agent holds whatever it currently has. From cash, it picks the side closer to the long-run midpoint (~65) so it's never sitting idle.
- Success metric: ounces accumulated. A round-trip (gold → silver → gold) that nets $0 but ends with 15% more ounces of gold than it started with is a winning cycle. The dollar P/L doesn't see that; the Ounce Ledger on this page does.
- No stops, no news, no fundamentals — just the ratio.
