So, is it safe to say that if we have a discrepancy in price between 2 commodities relative to their price history, AND there is no long term fundamental shift for that price change, there is a strong probability that the history of relative price will reassert itself?
yes a strong possibility.

John, I usually have a 1 to 1 win loss ratio in my trading of stocks.
What do you find your win to loss ratio is with spreads?
The ratio is better than 1 to 1 if managed correctly.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Does Hot Copper discuss these spread opportunities or are they best found by doing your own research?
no one discussing it that I have found.
Best to do your own research and look at how they work in real time, this will take at least 12-18 months as you see situations develop.

What is your capital allocation to a trade in % terms?
2% per position up to 10% on paper.
If it is a physical commodity spread it may be higher.

Do you always use ETFs? (I use ETFs also)
I have used CFDs in the past, but mostly use ETFs now.

I do not have long term data of commodity prices. Who would you recommend?
I use paritech for data, they have commodity data going back to 1979 for many commodites, and I use metastock for charts, but any provider that has long term data will do.
