Where is Everyone Trading Altcoins?

[Studio60]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where coinmarketcap.com gets their pricing data from? They have over 600 different coins listed. To my knowledge no single exchange has anywhere near that many coins traded. Cryptsy used to be the big alt-coin exchange, but ran into trouble. Where do people go to trade the many coins out there, especially ones with low volume?!?

Thanks!

Poloniex is now the biggest non-Chinese alt exchange since Cryptsy died. It is pretty liquid. Bittrex sadly doesn't have as much liquidity which means orders tend not to be filled very quickly even for moderately popular coins.

Hey thanks!

I hadn't heard of Bittrex.com. It appears they have about 190 coins. That's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm trying to see where Coinmarketcap.com is basing its pricing as they list prices for over 600 coins!

Click on the highlighted price of any coin you want. The page that opens gives you more info about the coin and it shows all the markets for that coin.

Well if you ask me only the title of thread... I'd say that I trade my altcoins at shapeshift. But there are very limited altcoins available there.

I'm gonna do you a favor and give you a good link, like somebody did to me a few days ago, and helped me a lot.

Yep they're good and Yobit as well.  I've had no problems with either one.

Who says "Everyone" trades Altcoins ?

Some of us just hold them forever.
and since exchanges are not a bank..

Yup.. that's right.
Not everyone came to Crypto to profit and buy Lambo's  
It's a fair assumption though..

EDIT:
A better question would have been WHERE do i SPEND them ?
But you guys really don't give a shit about that do you ?

i prefer to trade on bittrex and poloniex and some times on yobit for stupid coin that will die in few week

I can add BTC-e and trading with LTC. I bought at Bittrex LTC and sell them on BTC e and i was good few LTC and again i waiting for my orders to be filled. I don't know why people don't trade more with LTC? It is perfect if you asking me!

not sure but as i remember from when i was trading on BTC-e their markets (the first couple of markets anyways) was quite active. and LTC market was one of the active markets there. maybe things had changed there since i last visited. now i only trade on bittrex and kraken

This is a good source but I traded mainly on Yobit and ccex only had no problems with both of them especially on Yobit where I spend some of my earnings to promising and coins that will likely yield a profit in the long run..

BTC e is still very active place and it is profitable for me. I also trading on Yobit but they have small volume of trade and sometimes you need few days for orders to get filled. Bittrex and Poloniex are good for arbitrage.

Does anyone know where coinmarketcap.com gets their pricing data from?

not me...

They have over 600 different coins listed.

if you check most of them at the bottom of the list they have no trading volume and no exchanges that actually trade them!
batcoin for example!

Where do people go to trade the many coins out there, especially ones with low volume?!?

at coinmarketcap.com click on every obscure coin your heart desires;
right next to Charts tab there's a Markets tab which shows which exchanges are dealing it.
it also shows some extra info like volume and such;
like this one, lol.

or you can click on any exchanges name there and see a list of all the coins they're trading!
like this.

now there are many exchanges available for us trading alt. in addition to popular exchanges such as bitrex and poloniex, there is another bursa that traders like, ie binance. for new alt using ethereum platform you can trade on etherdelta.

[Collosus999]

Awesome guys, thanks for the tips! I was wondering how you traded altcoins into bitcoin and currency.

[Nazarov]

Personally, I trade on the stock exchange poloniex and bittrex. For me it is the most comfortable of the exchange, as they have long proved themselves in the market
