who here trades on poloniex or another trading platform? just wondering as i've recently started to delving into trading and would be cool to have some people i could talk too about it.
I'm just buy altcoins BCN,DSH,ZCASH,,STRAT,LSK,LTC,IFT i buy then hold for 1 week or 2 week

STRAT could go up.It could reach 0.00161000 BTC in two to three days.It is the better time to invest in STRATIS. Actually, you could have invested two days before when it was trading at 0.00110000 BTC.But it is not still over, STRAT will definitely go up.Now it is trading at 0.00131000 BTC.

As I see there are very bad altcoin trading services here, most of them are going to scam you/freeze your wallet. I suggest you to don't use yobit because there are many scam accusation threads here, also can say the same about poloniex, lately they are freezing their users accounts. Personally I use bittrex and bitfinex and like them, never had any problem.

I use bittrex, cryptopia.co.nz and poloniex. i use poloniex because the withdrawal fee low. However they are freezing their users accounts

Im using Poloniex mostly and Bittrex as secondary.

Why give such a timeframe for holding? You can't say that there will be an interesting price movement for a given period so don't give such dates. You will hold until you think you are satisfied with the profits. But just wondering, how you choose your coins? Out of suggestions? Research? Volumes?

Experience would really differ because not all are experiencing problems on the exchange that they are using as of now.Some might say poloniex isn't good to use now because of some issues but still some people do prefer it because they didn't experience such thing this is why we do have different views on here and we do really have the freedom to choose up on what exchange we would use as long it would suits our needs.

Poloniex is good as they use their brain to list the coins and won't list scam coins. All the coins listed there have great chances to grow fast and give better returns to costumers. Hope they keep doing business like this.

AVOID, no answer to support tickets for 30+ days, next cryptsy!

Yeah, still hearing horror stories of stuck withdrawals for months, unanswered tickets for months. Their interface is glitchy enough that it worries me. The removal of the trollbox was pretty shady because it was overwhelmed with complaints from users. Instead of hiring loads of new staff they just tried to bury the problem.

Meanwhile, they are asking for a full DNA sample from new users. Full social security number for US users. Who the fuck is crazy enough to give their full SSN to Poloniex?! Nobody even knows who these crooks are...

Too many people make a topic about poloniex, is not it better if we discuss in an existing topic? so more information is gathered in 1 object? we can discuss with more people if you do so

just wait for time before Poloniex become Scam exchanger
their website is Good, Active web
but their Support Is Dead

so many people fund stuck on Poloniex because they cant witdhrawal or waiting support answering

Could well be. They should've had enough time by now to resolve legitimate under-staffing issues. Also, when users can't get verified after multiple months, it does rather raise into question their solvency.

There are HUGE concerns around Poloniex; just poke around and you'll see dozens of posts from people who have missing funds, frozen accounts, and support ticks going unanswered for months.  What's even more worrying is their lack of public responses to the numerous complaints.

As for me, my only issue thus far is an unverified account even after 3-months.  Bittrex fully verified me in about 5-days.  Also, I use a trading bot for both Bittrex and Poloniex, and Poloniex throws errors and bans my API if I go over one call every few seconds, compared to Bittrex doing several calls a second.

That said, Poloniex has the better manual trading platform and their UI is awesome.  I've moved most of my money from Poloniex to Bittrex though because it was stressing me out that at any moment they could close shop. 

the all coins you have is just waiting the right time to increase and soon after the coins is up, you can make big profit. because all coins is trying to reach new price after the last high price and after bitcoin price is up, i think every altcoin is adjusted their price to new price. i think you can hold for more than 2 week, at least in 1 month but its up to you. if you think the price is increase, you can sell it to take profit first and keep the rest for another increase.

Good exchanges, but sometimes it takes a long time to withdraw

yeah just wait for your fund stuck on polo and nobody answering,you maybe saying else  ;D

Forst of all op, i advice you to stay away from poloniex. Because it just has so much controversies going on with it right now. I wouldn't risk my funds even a bit with some exchange that has lots of issues and horror stories. I certainly don't want to lose anything I have work my ass of in gaining.  Im currently using bittrex now. And i suggest you do the same too. Not only because it doesn't have as much issues as poloniex but because it is Way easier to use.

Now, regarding your mentioned coins,
I don't see why you shouldn't invest in them. They all are great coins with good potential. They will sure increase in value few months from now. But having said that, you still have to do your own research about these coins. So you know what you really are investing into.

Goodluck op,
Cheers.

Is poloniex still alive? How are the trade volumina right now? Wanted to reset my password for security, but they knocked me out at this point and support tickets lead to nowhere. Fortunately had saved my funds months ago to my wallets,,but wanted to trade again now or at least look, what's  up at polo. Was my favor.

Poloniex has been going through quite some difficulties in the recent months, which has lead to a whole lot of Polo users to make a shift to Bittrex. People are complaining about not being able to cash out due to the required verification they need to walk themselves through, and if they want to have themselves fully verified, it takes months in some cases due to the staff not going through verification requests in an adequate manner for whatever reason. If you want to trade on an exchange doing everything, or at least a lot right to please their customers, then go for Bittrex. As long as Poloniex is not taking care of their customers, there is no way I would advice anyone to deposit any coins there.

Poloniex has somehow always been my main source of trading. But after reading and acknowledging this I just might shift to Bitrex

I also have the impression because of many posts about delay at withdraw, that they do it now manually. Yes, Bittrex is still a good exchanger. What do you think about Bitfinex?

Poloniex had the potential to grow tremendously in the forthcoming years, but they have wasted that with their idiotic behavior. Bittrex is a great alternative, and generates more volume.

Oh, I would never ever advice anyone to make use of that exchange after everything they have put their customers through. I find it mind boggling that this exchange actually managed to gain back its leading position in terms of USD trading. Everything related to the "hack" they suffered from stinks big time, and that's what a lot people were thinking as well initially. For whatever reason, at the moment Bitfinex cleared its debt, people changed their rightfully justified hostile attitude to one that is the complete opposite - this exchange suddenly became legit again in the eyes of the people, and the volumes of this exchange started to pick up again.
