    Commodities trading means trading with margins and so you should first read this.

    Once you are aware of the issues that comes with margin trading, I will say the best strategy is to never have an open position overnight.

    Glad you followed the first part. Now to improve upon I will recommend the following.

    • Don't trade in everything. Trade in only your list of commodities. Less is always better.
    • Trade only on one side. That is focus on either being long or being short but not both.
    • Trade with few patterns that you are confident about. I prefer W, Breakout, head and shoulder and Higher Top higher bottom. All these are explained in my ebook.
    • Only trade with patterns and don't try to assume any patterns. Let the pattern be formed with an exception of anticipated pattern which is also explained in the ebook.
    • Avoid running after trades and let the trade setup be perfect. It is good not to loose money because 90% of people are loosing money and you are being better than those.
    I hope it helps

    I don't trade with Heikin Ashi method and so it would be tough for me to guide you in that area.

    I don't use them. I prefer trading based on support and resistance and so I will not be able to guide you in heikin ashi.

    Again it is not what I use and prefer.
