People forget this part of history.

Israel defeated Egypt in war and then gave back the entire Sinai Peninsula - an area bigger than Israel itself - in exchange for peace.

Israel withdrew from Gaza completely in 2005, removing its own settlements and citizens.

Parts of the West Bank were handed over to Palestinian governance under the Oslo Accords.

The Golan Heights wasn’t returned because Syria never made peace and the area overlooks northern Israel strategically.

So the narrative that Israel just “occupies land and never gives anything back” is simply not true.

Land was returned where peace was possible.
Land was held where war was still the reality.

That’s not ideology. That’s strategy and survival.

Why Isn't There a Palestinian State?

"If Israel just allowed the Palestinians to have a state of their own, there would be peace in the Middle East, right? That’s what you hear from UN ambassadors, European diplomats and most college professors.

But what if I told you that Israel has already offered the Palestinians a state of their own - and not just once, but on five separate occasions?"

Watch:

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

Bill Clinton: “Palestinians were offered a state on the entire West Bank and east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel accepted, but Palestinians refused. They did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. All they wanted was to kill Israelis"

This must be shared every day.

Helaas zullen de twitteraars die het het hardst nodig hebben, dit filmpje weigeren te bekijken, maar hier een FEITELIJK filmpje over het Israëlisch-Arabisch conflict: 'Als je het niet met me eens bent, prove me wrong'.
Ga er even rustig voor zitten.

@FinanceFilosoof En veel te hoge margins!

Traders with big egos focus on:

Their win rate, not their risk/reward ratio.

Only sharing winning trades.

Bragging about predicting outcomes.

Pretending they always win.

Believe their strategy is the only valid way to make money.

Acting like they are always smarter than the market.

Pretend they are on the right side of every market move.

What else?

The market isn’t outperformed by the trader who's tried a hundred different strategies once, but the one who's mastered a single strategy through repetition and discipline.

Trading Mindset Cheat Sheet

To be a profitable trader you need three things:

1. A trading system with an edge. 
2. Proper position sizing per trade.
3. The right trading mindset. 

If you don’t have the right mindset for trading then the other two will not work. 
Here is a trader cheat sheet of the principles you must understand to create the right mindset in trading. A trading cheat sheet for the psychology of profitability. 

•A new trader must understand that trading is not a get rich quick scheme, it is a professional endeavor that requires learning how to create quantified trading systems that have an edge over other participants. 

•Professional trading is not gambling it is like running a business. Profitable trading is more like operating a casino than emotional gambling if done correctly. Think like a business manager not an emotional gambler. 

•Successful traders have an edge in trading systems and signals not predicting and having strong opinions. Traders don’t know the future, they know what has the best odds of working in the present. Traders should have a flexible opinion about price action. 

•Great traders have losing trades, profitability doesn’t come from perfection it comes from creating good risk/reward ratios at entry. Losing trades must be accepted as just part of doing business. 

•To keep a stable mindset, position sizing should be kept consistent and at a size that doesn’t cause excessive stress, emotions to become too loud, or ego engagement where you want to be right. 

•A trader must have faith in their trading system. This comes through research and backtesting into a method that has a positive expectancy and fits their belief system. 

•A trader must have faith in their self to execute their system with discipline. This comes with time and success in execution. A trader must trust their self to not let impulses cause bad decisions. 

•Traders must have the mindset of discipline to follow their trading plan’s rules and believe that a good trade is one that followed their system regardless of results. 

•A trader must have the perseverance to trade their system through losing streaks and drawdowns understanding that it is just part of the process.  

•Trading results must be kept separate from a traders self worth. A trader can’t control market outcomes, they can only control their own actions. 

•A positive mindset must be maintained to avoid a negative emotional spiral. Focus on the positives on every trade, like you kept losses small or followed your process with discipline. 

•Don’t become euphoric with big wins or depressed during losses or drawdowns, keep your emotional equilibrium after each trading outcome. Stay off tilt in either direction. Each trade is just one of the next one hundred, divide you emotional reaction between them.
