Which is the best exchange to store BTC on during the fork?

I've been hodling for so long I don't use exchanges now, but want to get access to both forks asap after the fork.

coinbase is good exchanges to store your bitcoin
when the hardfork is finish you will receive coin from hardfork.

Bittrex published statement on the S2X hardfork
https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002603211-Statement-on-Bitcoin-Segwit2x-hard-fork

The "BTC" ticker will remain the Bitcoin Core chain before the hard fork block. Bittrex will observe the Bitcoin network for a period of 24 to 48 hours to determine if a chain split has occurred and the outcome.
In the event of a chain split, "BTC" will remain the existing Bitcoin chain with 1 MB blocks until the industry and ecosystem demonstrates a clear chain preference for Bitcoin.

It'll be interesting to watch how all of this is going to play out

Aztek, what is your recommended action? Keep coins in private wallet, exchange or just in fiat? (I'm using Kraken)

Confirm with the exchange, if they are going to allow trading the entire time.
If so , I consider that safe as you could sell if a major drop started. (But you have to watch the market constantly.)

If your exchange , stated they are freezing trading during the time of the activation, I would convert to fiat and sit it out , until a clear winner was apparent.

No way in hell, would I keep any segwitcoins in a private wallet during this clash of segshits.
Odds are too great, the segshitcoins are going to be stuck for days/weeks or longer, and it only takes a few hours for the major players to crash a coin.

Seg1x & 2X may damage each other to the point that only Bitcoin Cash is seen as reliable , then it is game over.

Bitcoin Cash could possibility be the only survivor of the 1x verses 2x war.
Time will tell. Gonna be an interesting week or two.

I couldn't agree more. I sold 70% of my BTC and bought BCH from it. The remaining 30% i keep on a exchange so i can dump it fast when necessary. I would also like to add that it looks like alot of miners are signalling they are supporting Segwit2x, what confirms your story u cant do any transactions on Segwit1 chain.

the bitcoin cash price rising up , but i afraid  after November will down .

Bittrex statement has a huge omission right at the key point:

Code:

In the event of a chain split, "BTC" will remain the existing Bitcoin chain with 1 MB blocks 
until the industry and ecosystem demonstrates a clear chain preference for Bitcoin.

a clear chain preference for Bitcoin.

it makes no sense, I suppose they mean a clear chain preference for Bitcoin2x?

Coinfloor's statement is quite different - they're going to drop minority fork in case one of the forks will prevail
http://blog.coinfloor.co.uk/post/167229329011/coinfloors-policy-regarding-the-segwit2x-hard

After the fork, if we determine that both forks remain significant, we will issue the coins resulting from both forks. Otherwise, we will not list the losing fork and will continue to refer to the prevailing fork as “BTC”, “XBT” or “Bitcoin”.

That makes more sense, but honestly what else could you do with the losing fork? If there are no blocks for a week, the losing fork just doesn't exist during that time. Sitting around waiting for that block to get mined (and knowing that your transaction won't be in it unless you thought to include a $1000 fee in it) is pointless.

I suppose the statements from the exchanges really aren't that important. Aztek does have a good point about quick-dumping being easier from an exchange. Personally, I've placed most of my bets. Now I'm holding private keys and waiting.

Price of BCH is stable now, and maybe after fork will rice like price of BTC after fork. People are gassing but nobody knows.

I do not understand why Bitcoin cash is going up with BTC. after for there is nothing incomone.. It is just free money.. 

Because bitcoin cash is the most strong competitor of bitcoin, so bch is pumping along with BTC. I think the logic is very simple, BCH is decendant of btc, so it can go up together.

It merely dishonest what Bitcoin is doing. Just spilitting and making free money for holders. It is like unmoral community with greed. I do not like this forks. And I hope bitcoin will slowly loose its value together with its clones beacose of this. Also other cryptos who do this should alse slowly disapear.

All the forks have nothing to do with the original bitcoin it is open source and you could create a fork tomorrow and nobody could stop you not even the bitcoin developers

Will you have a hard fork on the 13th? How do I get the value in BCH, if I leave my BTC in Poloniex, can I get the same value in BCH? I'm newbie yet

being new to this thread does not prevent you from making your own re-search into the subject under scrutiny, does it?

[classicsucks]

Yeah so I only thought about it for a few minutes, but I guess we don't have to update our wallets for the Nov 13 fork, since it's just a DA upgrade? Just nodes and miners I'm guessing.

I like that you added that... I immediately thought "not even those neckbeard trolls could stop you".

Well it's true no matter if we do have our differences of opinion
