Thank you for the answer! Reputation comes with strong security, this is why I am all in for strong withdrawal protections put in place.

Thank you all for the answers!

From what I have seen until now the most important factor seems to be reputation therefore strong security etc..

Not exactly, even the most reputable crypto exchange out there can have be hacked so there is really no way of relating reputability and security all at the same time. If you want to be reputable though you must not only prove yourself of being a secure exchange you must also prove that your service is reliable meaning your site is up and running all the time with zero down times and that is including unnecessary maintenance and lags from your UI. From a perspective the users with you being reliable and secure I know that you can be trusted with our money and then you can see your reputation grow naturally.

I agree with you, but my point was different. I meant that in order for an exchange to be reputable it needs strong security to prove itself resistant against bad actors or platform downtimes and lag.

The importance to me lies within

1) transparency
2) adjustable leverage with convinient SL/TP
3) security
4) liquidity
5) fast withdrawals

Interesting thread. Will keep an eye on it.

Transparency is very important and we see some exchanges without faces and names behind them which is bumper for many people in my eyes. What do you think about KYC (not mandatory) but to have it as an option?

1-Reputation
2-Volume
OP, I don't trade derivatives and never have, but mikeywith is probably right with his top two criteria--reputation is extremely important in the world of cryptocurrency, because there have been so many exchanges that have turned out to either be outright scams or have gotten their customers' funds hacked.  I think it would be critical that the site be secure and have whatever protections are in place at other derivatives exchanges--like the CME and anywhere else you can trade stock/commodity futures.

Volume is also important as well.  I think one of the reasons why Bakkt hasn't succeeded like many thought it would is because there aren't many people using it as of yet, and the market needs to be liquid in order for traders to have confidence in it.

Anyway, good luck on your report, OP.  I don't think this is the best place to get answers, but I'm sure you'll at least get some.

My list of importance goes something like this:

1. Good liquidity
2. Good platform speed- I don't like trading on Bitmex especially when things are moving fast and their platform occasionally overloads, which can result in high slippage or losses.
3. Good reputation- This could be tied with #2, but I am always wary of very new sites offering derivatives as some of them could just run off with your funds with no warning.
4. Easy-to-use interface- You trade best when you're familiar with an interface, so it's important on newer sites that the interface is similar to existing ones on more popular sites (like Deribit and Bitmex), or it's just designed to be quick to learn with proper documentation.

I don't ever use high leverage, and mathematically it just doesn't make sense to use insanely high leverage like 100x or 200x, so the availability of very high leverage is just clickbait to reel in newbie traders IMO.

I value the security of funds more than quick withdrawals, which is why I trust Bitmex more than some exchanges with my funds, but at the end of the day there's no way to tell how an exchange is keeping user funds, and any exchange could potentially have a serious security breach involving the loss of funds at any time.

There are people who want to risk it from time to time and try with the max leverage. In the end, it all comes down to how people handle the instruments. I see many people list Reputation, but what if the exchange is new? Reputation is built with time.

I'd expect

1. Good volume/liquidity - the page should be responsive too so orders trigger on time and can be cancelled quickly
2. A good reputation - reasonable care is put into how users funds are stored (I. E its not all in a hot wallet).
3. Fast and cheap withdrawals with just 2fa (password plus authenticator/sms)
4. Honest fee descriptions for leverage - how much you pay the market for your position every day and reasonable fees
5. If it has a good api and external charting software (like bybit and bitmex use trading view) its a lot faster and a lot more responsive that way. It makes it easier to cancel a trade if the site gets ddosed if they stillnallow trusted premium bots through... Or bots can keep pinging a request.
6. Compatibility with other platforms, can I access it on my mobile or do I have to be near a desktop pc?
I concur, with the order as well. OP, can you share the result once you are done with your research paper? I'd like to know the results as well. Thanks Smiley

Yes, I will release the research here but don't expect it to be something extraordinary, otherwise thank you for the answer. From what I see for now security, liquidity, order control, and withdrawals are on the top. I need more answers to evaluate more correctly and correctly sort it by importance.

1.Low fees
2.Volume
3.Good UI/UX
4.Reputation
5.Instant Withdrawals

These are the major things

What kind of security practices and options do you want to see?

Btw it would be very useful if answers here input security practices and what kind of security options do you want to see for an account, withdrawal protection?

Would people would like to have a layer 2 protection a.k.a different passwords for trading and withdrawal besides account password?

And on top of that - do you want to see an SMS, 2FA, e-mail code confirmation requirement when withdrawing?

Thank you for the feedback! You put liquidity on top and order control/execution. Most of the derivative platforms have time-based withdrawals 1 to 2 times per day in batches. I would like to see a derivative platform with available withdrawals on demand.

What about instruments and trading options? What would you like to see besides the six things that you pointed out?

I quite like binance margin, if they had higher margin more than 4x avaliable it'd be better though.

Yeah bybit and bitmex have time based withdrawals and they're a bit annoying. Bitmex is also hard to withdraw afaik because they send a confirmation email but don't mention it on their site anywhere once you withdraw.

Coindcx is an Indian startup one of my contacts suggested and if they had higher leverage and had been going longer (and weren't in India) they'd be pretty good... But they're alright now with small amounts.

I'd like a good choice of trading pairs per se but realistically as long as they have btc usd and a few well known alts then they're pretty good... Ltc and eth and btc are all pretty good pairs I'd expect on a lot of these exchanges.



A friendly, proactive and fast support would be pretty good too.

Also a system that is pretty robust and manipulation proof. I think coinbase has tried to adopt a system like this to make arbitrage less possible however I think things like liquidation price and some sells are better off following a market average. A second layer on a high volume market is better than a first layer on a low volume one imo...

Binance now has leverage trading with 125x which is very impressive. Thank you for your answer!
Let's evaluate what kind of protection system would matter a lot for your decision when choosing between derivatives trading platforms?

Sorry for the long post, but to end it with one more question to leave more room for thought:

What kind of innovative instruments would you like to see? (Not only trading pairs, but also interface options, order control etc... everything is welcomed)

Thanks for your input! I know I likely won't get a very accurate one, but it's worth the effort. I'm hoping to get more opinions from all kinds of sources.
9  Economy / Exchanges / Your ideal crypto derrivatives exchange: name 5 most important features. on: February 10, 2020, 04:50:45 PM
Hey everyone. I'm working on a small research paper about crypto trading. I need your help to collect some insights of what both engaged and not so active cryptocurrency traders look for when selecting on which derivatives crypto exchange to trade.

What do you expect from the ideal crypto derivatives exchange?
Name 3-5 most important things ranged by importance.

E.g.:
1. low fees
2. high leverage
3. wide range of assets
4. long exchange history & reputation

I will post the research here when ready with it. The more answers I get the better representation of each group. Thanks!
10  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Do you think that crypto exchanges are dead? on: November 28, 2018, 08:19:27 PM
Crypto exchanges are not dead, it is just that there are a lot less people trading and investing in such conditions.
BUT there are good ideas and exchange platforms being built at the moment.

There is one exchange that will offer copy-trading and algo trading to its customers. You will be able to follow and the trades of a chosen trader.
It is called - Covesting (Regulate by Gibraltar, DLT license)
Their token-economics are not to be missed.
-50% fee reduction when trading through COV-pair pairs
- You will need to buy COV to be able to follow a trader.
- You will need to buy and lock COV to unlock access to algo trading.
- Token burning - 50% of the exchange fees will go to burning the token.

So NO, I don't think that innovative and regulated exchanges are dead, it is just that the market is in a very bad situation.

I only would buy in into very stable projects after I have done my diligence on them. Projects like cargox, covesting - those are projects that I feel secure and have great potential.
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bull market soon? Or a trap? 🤔 on: November 28, 2018, 08:01:42 PM
I think that we may have few positive days, but not much after it. It is too early for the market sentiment to turn positive (bullish).
Maybe we are entering neutral zone or we really hit the bottom in the last few days of horror.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Most Promising Altcoins to Invest in 2019 on: November 22, 2018, 01:34:09 PM
Utility token - Covesting and CargoX
Scalability - Zilliqa and AELF


Covesting - exchange/copy trading platform with DLT license
CargoX - CargoX is the independent supplier of blockchain-based Smart Bill of Lading (Smart B/L™) solutions that provide an extremely fast, safe, reliable, and cost-effective way to process Bills of Lading anywhere in the world.

Those two projects if successful can have quite big ROI.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: You think the Crypto market will keep growing? on: November 22, 2018, 01:20:20 PM
I really hope that crypto will grow well because crypto is a source of income for me, I believe that the future of crypto is beautiful can prosper its people, hopefully it is like that. let's see the same in the future.

In my eyes it is inevitable that the cryptocurrency market will grow with time, we just needed this correction to happen so that shitty projects and people who are only for quick buck flushed out.
It is very similar to dot.com bubble.
Do you think that people then felt good about Amazon or Google? Smiley
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ✅ COVESTING ⚡ REGULATED CRYPTOCURRENCY TRADING PLATFORM ⚡ BETA is LIVE! on: October 26, 2018, 08:37:32 AM
Lets not forget the transparency and the professionalism of the CEO and the team, and that they are communicating directly with the investors.

Obtaining the DLT license from Gibraltar was a big step for the team (Lets not forget that Covesting also have 3 licenses from Estonia too) and this is just the beginning to building awesome, stable and secure platform with investment options aside from exchange.
Copy-trading, algo, arbitrage etc... and all of that combined with awesome token-economics, it is just the recipe for something incredible.
Background of the team, expertise and the idea - all of that made me invest in the beginning and been hodling since the ICO and obtained more during this whole year.

In my eyes the company has enormous potential and I can see them growing very very fast (exponential).
With its token-economics and the very limited quantity of the token (only 20 million) I think that we are in for a ride if the near future when the platform is released with all of its investment instruments.

Overall: I am utterly bullish for this project.



Covesting will include:

Fiat gateway

Token-economics (everything bellow requires in some form to buy and use COV-token to access the instruments and it will be mandatory):

Copy-trading
Algo
Arbitrage
Reduction of the fees if you hold and use COV for trading
etc...

I would like to hear your opinions about Covesting and its soon to be released instruments Smiley
