Wallet from an exchange it is never safe. They are used for convenience purposes and if you do trading a lot there, however they are far from secure. I recommend you using a desktop or hardware wallet instead.
If you are an avid trader and cannot do without trading then use 2 wallets, 1 the one of the exchange where you trade and another desktop wallet like Electrum for example.
Once you finish your trading session withdraw your coins to the electrum wallet and keep only the amount for trading in the exchange. This can minimize your risks quite a lot.

I don't think you can consider any exchange to be completely safe. I have used coinbase, yobit, poloniex, and btc-e with no problem. But I used cryptsy and they stole my money. It's hard to know if they are trustworthy.

I will not recommend exchange wallet for long term saving of your bitcoins but if you want to trade with them then you can keep your bitcoins in that wallets and when you feel that you have some extra bitcoins on that wallets then try to withdraw them to your desktop wallet.

Besides xapo, coinbase and blockchain, I also use wallet from exchanger like from yobit, poloniex and bittrex. Sometimes I can't online for longtime because my career is sailor.
Is exchanger wallets safe?
I only trust some exchange site's but most off all i only truely trust 1 bitcoin wallet website that based on my country and it is very safe to let your bitcoin to save there and hold not like other websites that if the website got hacked then they can't really back the funds but in my wallet there are policy that i think there going back your amount.

With my experience I had been storing my bitcoins to my exchanger and I haven't any issues with them. And that is because I'm making them as my personal bank. But still I know the risk that I can get when something happened that's why I am just trusting them that they will not collapsed. It is just like store your bitcoins at your own risk with exchange sites.

people already explained to you about risks of using online web wallets as your storage especially in exchanges which can go down. but from what i read, it seems like you are not using your bitcoins for long periods of time, in that case you should use a cold storage like paper wallet instead. you keep it in a safe place and only receive payments in.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip. Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

Never use any exchanger wallet to store your coins as anytime these sites can be hacked (as they are vulnerable to attacks) and you can lose all your coins. I wouldn't say that online wallets are safe but I prefer them compared to exchange website wallets due to any bad incidents in the past. I use unocoin but don't save my money there for more than a day. Besides xapo, coinbase and blockchain, I also use wallet from exchanger like from yobit, poloniex and bittrex. Sometimes I can't online for longtime because my career is sailor.

Paper wallets too cannot be secure as when people tend to forget their password and lose their private keys, they can lose those wallets too. Physical wallets can be the best option but only if you have a good amount of bitcoins to store.

Yes, you should just trust only few that have good reputation and high trust score like coinbase, blockchain and blockio and so on but any new or untrusted one shoud never be used for storing your bitcoin else you may loose over the night.

But, I like to suggest here do not trust anyone. That is the reason we are having bitcoin. Trusting others for bitcoin storage, must be a breach of bitcoin's core concept of trustless system. Having very low amount in exchange or in web wallet is always highly recommended. Standalone desktop wallets are best always.

It would be the safest method to store our BTCs. On virtual world there are threats everywhere and everytime, and I believe some people stay inhibited to use large amounts of BTCs because of it.

I only use exchanger's wallet to store altcoins which i get from avatar campaigns,etc. I find it easier to use a wallet of new currency instead of installing the same on my pc. So far i have no problem with using yobit's wallet.

As other members said here as long you dont have access on your private keys your bitcoins is not really safe being left behind on exchange wallets because the risk of lossing it is there and you heard about exchange being hacked then you cant do nothing with it if it happens and your bitcoin is totally lost. Better to transfer it into a hardware wallet if you are a sailor because its somehow safe rather than keeping it on exchange wallets.

Depending on how you are going to trust an exchangers security then just save there at your own risk. Because out of the bitfinex incident, for sure many are doubtful on this. But with me, I am using and storing my bitcoins with a local exchanger, because offline wallets are much more risky for me. Because here in my place a lot of robbers will put interest to the things that they just see new in their eyes, even my relatives.

It might seem convenient to just keep your money on an exchange wallet but seriously there are a lot of exchanges that claim that they got hacked and actually plan to do a runner sometime.
Just hold your bitcoin in a private key that you control... It's not that difficult.

The exchange owners aren't very very trusted and unexpected things happen. So better to don't risk our money on it using an exchange as wallet.

There is other alternative if he is a sailor and he can bring even smart phone he can use electrum apps it is safe than online or exchange site.. just make sure that you are always backuping private keys and seeds for future purposes if you phone is gone you can be still install your wallet to other wallet to recover your bitcoins..
