Description

Strategy 17.5: Secured lending on commodity collateral discount

Strategy Logic

Strategy 17.5: Pawnbroking (Secured Cash Lending). Secured lending at a significant discount to collateral value. Lend when collateral-to-loan ratio exceeds a threshold (e.g. 2x). Applied to physical commodity proxies (gold/silver ETFs) - buy when the commodity price drops significantly below its fair / intrinsic value, representing an attractive collateral opportunity. Uses SMA-based fair-value estimate: fair value = SMA(close, long_period). Discount = (fair_value - close) / fair_value.
