Good to see your interest and nice decision to start with copper mini.Well enough capital so you never loose in long run in 1 lot mini if trade properly. As you be newbie so first understand the things well and see other people post too because every body is our teacher here.
In copper - Fundamentals (main)
Lme inventory, demand and supply data, Sanghai inventory, demand and supply data, Us data are main. US data can be seen through netdania.com,forexpros.com. Rest first too data is provided by your broker if he is providing. I am getting from a broker research team when they are out because of my good relationship with them.But it will be difficult to judge on fundamentals intraday specially because many time market discount in advance all rumors or expectation and sell on news. So it can trap you many times. $ also play a vital role in pricing inversely mostly.
For watching charts-
http://www.investing.com/commodities/copper-advanced-chart
Register there if chance to practice then practice there for paper trading so that you can judge you are going right or wrong.
SO best is follow Technical analysis and your sixth sense.
In Ta learn -candlestick-normal and heiken ashi both, macd, moving average 20-50 crossover as you are beginner, bollinger band (very imp too),stochastic;there are also some pattern for that search websites they will teach you better.
Now decide what kind of trader you want to be- Scalper, positional-intraday or short term.
IF you are scalper then quick profit is to be taken but in copper you cannot enjoy much in scalping.
If you want to do positional trading then look for hourly chart then decide the trend . I basically like to play retracement and pullbacks. you can better see macd and ma crossovers to play safer in hourly chart. Some time rally extend due to news. So if in daily chart trend is of buy side then use dips to buy and vice versa.
Its a nutshell discription for more clarification first you learn and observe things and ask one by one. Else you be confused.
Good luck.
