Please read the following disclosures carefully before proceeding.
Real-time precious metals prices displayed on this platform are provided by a licensed, subscription-based market data service that aggregates spot pricing from major global precious metals exchanges and over-the-counter (OTC) markets. These prices reflect indicative spot market values and may differ from prices available through any particular dealer, exchange, or transaction venue.
Historical precious metals prices used in backtesting and analysis are sourced from the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) PM Fix. The LBMA Gold Price and LBMA Silver Price are benchmark prices determined through an electronic auction process administered by ICE Benchmark Administration (IBA). The LBMA PM Fix is the most widely used benchmark for gold and silver transactions globally, referenced by central banks, mining companies, and institutional investors. The gold auction occurs twice daily (10:30 AM and 3:00 PM London time); the silver auction occurs once daily (12:00 noon London time). Historical LBMA prices are available at prices.lbma.org.uk.
Prices may vary between sources due to differences in timing, settlement conventions, and geographic markets. London and New York prices, for example, may diverge during periods of market stress or illiquidity. Users should not rely on any price displayed here as the basis for an executable trade without independent verification.
SILVESTER's confidence model incorporates publicly available economic data sourced primarily from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) database maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and from other U.S. government sources including the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). These sources are widely regarded as authoritative and are relied upon by institutional investors, economists, and policymakers worldwide.
Specific data series used include, but are not limited to: the 10-Year Treasury Inflation-Indexed Security yield (real interest rates), the Trade-Weighted U.S. Dollar Index, the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Option-Adjusted Spread, the Consumer Price Index, and manufacturing activity indicators. Market volatility data is sourced from the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). Copper price data is sourced from commodity exchange futures.
While these sources are believed to be accurate and reliable, SILVESTER makes no guarantee regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any third-party data. Economic data is subject to revision by the issuing agencies.
SILVESTER's ratio analysis methodology and confidence scoring engine are proprietary. The specific algorithms, factor weights, and scoring mechanics represent original analytical work and are not publicly disclosed in their entirety.
However, transparency is a core principle of this platform. SILVESTER discloses:
• The identity and source of every data input used in its analysis
• The specific economic readings (such as ISM Manufacturing PMI values, credit spread levels, and inflation figures) upon which any finding or recommendation is based
• The confidence score assigned to each trade signal, along with the directional contribution of each factor
• The empirical basis for factor inclusion, including cases where research findings contradicted initial hypotheses
Users can independently verify the underlying data and assess the reasonableness of any recommendation by consulting the disclosed sources directly.
The information provided by SILVESTER is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other form of professional advice.
No content on this platform should be construed as a recommendation, solicitation, or offer to buy, sell, or hold any security, commodity, or investment product. SILVESTER does not recommend any specific investment action for any specific individual. The platform presents analytical tools and historical analysis that users may consider as one input among many in their own decision-making process.
SILVESTER is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial planner. No fiduciary relationship exists between SILVESTER and any user of this platform.
All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of principal. Precious metals investments are subject to significant price volatility and may lose value over short or extended periods. The gold-silver ratio and related indicators analyzed by this platform have exhibited substantial variability historically and may not behave in the future as they have in the past.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Backtested results shown on this platform are hypothetical, were not achieved through actual trading, and do not account for all costs, taxes, or market conditions that would affect real-world returns. Hypothetical results have inherent limitations: they are prepared with the benefit of hindsight, do not reflect the impact of financial risk in actual trading, and may over- or understate the impact of economic and market factors.
Before making any investment decision, you should consult with a qualified financial advisor, tax professional, or other appropriate professional who understands your individual financial circumstances, objectives, and risk tolerance. Your financial situation is unique, and the general information provided by this platform cannot substitute for personalized professional advice.
This platform and all information, content, and tools provided herein are offered on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. SILVESTER disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. SILVESTER does not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
In no event shall SILVESTER, its owners, partners, affiliates, or data providers be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with the use of this platform or reliance on any information provided herein, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, or data, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
These disclosures are not a substitute for legal counsel. If SILVESTER becomes a commercial product, a qualified securities attorney should review all disclosures for compliance with applicable federal and state regulations.
