Commodities have no value per se. There is no valuation basis such as "growth" or "value" in commodity trading. 

Traders learning about commodity trading can get into a great deal of trouble if they try to buy a commodity on a pullback on a "valuation basis."

Saying "I should buy it here because it's pulled back X% and that's a reasonable decrease" will put that trader out of business. 

You can't be "reasonable" with the markets and you can't negotiate your stops. 

The best rules and systems are price-based models that eliminate sub-optimal trades and thereby filter out many of the losers BEFORE a trader would put the trade on. 

How do you lose less? Avoid losing trades in the first place. 

Admittedly, it's a bit of a different mindset at first, but it's possible for traders to trade both asset classes albeit with slightly different rules.
