Someone here trades commodity pair/spread ?
I'm interested in pair.spread trading of commodity,but the ways I got about how to select two legs for trading pair/spread in commodity are all by subjective/fundemantal judgement,it seems that there is no way to do so mechanically ?
For example,in the case of intra market pair trading,how to select two months among all the cu contracts ?

How to select the two legs of a pair trading?
pair trades
1) you need to identify a group of stocks in the same sector
2) you select two stocks that you think are highlycorrelated and you back-test them.
2-3 standard deviation out for entry and very discretionary for exit rules....
Normally you need to run many many pairs just to survive and from time to time, some of them will blow up and your equity curve will look terrible.
DE Shaw was very good at it...
