July Trading Success and Market Insights Suggest Caution in Crypto and Forex

In my personal experience, July was exceptionally profitable, equivalent to two months of regular trading, despite the risks I took. I invested more heavily in Tesla, and on Thursday, I experienced a gap of over 40% using leverage. Additionally, my positions in other instruments yielded significant gains. However, most traders I know have instead turned to the Russian stock market, hoping for enormous returns similar to what was achieved two years ago. Their belief is that after the key interest rate was lowered, money will flow from savings into the stock market. I hold a different opinion on this matter, and I have not traded in the Russian stock market since I started trading. Regarding cryptocurrencies, I question the wisdom of invested amounts, echoing a quote from Ilf and Petrov about the risks. In July, two acquaintances had their bank cards and accounts blocked across all banks after withdrawing crypto via P2P, even with a small sum of 37,000 rubles. This serves as an observation, not a scare. August showed interesting signals in the Forex market, but I lacked the time to monitor everything thoroughly, preferring not to engage in Forex trading at this moment. If signals appear in August, I might trade there. I won't disclose all information just yet, but look at the euro-dollar exchange rate and how Trump is devaluing the dollar. Trading with "soft" instruments in these movements can be more profitable than crypto. Ultimately, you need to look deeper and understand the underlying factors shaping the markets.
