Gold (XAU/USD) was the most actively traded asset, surging 25.7% in H1 2025, while average losses per account dropped 38%, signaling a shift toward more disciplined trading. The report also highlighted that profitable traders executed 25.3% more trades with 62.7% larger position sizes, reinforcing that strategy and execution matter more than volume alone.
