4 powerful $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ levels to know for tariffs and FOMC in March 2025.

Lower Position Size to improve your entries and exits
The 1 way to drastically improve your entries and exits is to LOWER YOUR POSITION SIZE. Do not worry about the profits and loss yet as soon as you improve your entries and exits on 1-2 contracts you can increase it to 5 contracts then eventually 10. Yes, so if you have an account between $1000-$2000 for this week focus on trading with 1-2 contracts only. And then see how you do.The hard part of this BASIC excercise is to see how you control your emotions. So if you decide to take 5 contracts because you felt like it. This is like eating a donut randomly while you are dieting or going for a little smoke break just becuase you've hadnt had one for 3 days. Its the same mistake lack of discipline.
