Keep all crypto in trading platforms or wallets?

[PERtua]

I personally use a wallet to store my holdings, and i have more in my trading wallet. it is best (for me) to have both wallets to easily use all because you can't just use all you BTC for trading.

in short you are doing it half by half right? like half was stored and hald was in the exchange waiting to sell right?

Keeping coin on a commercial site or on a wallet is up to you. If you want to trade every day to increase your coin number then surely you have to let your coin on the trading page to do business. If you do not want to do business and just want to keep your coin, make sure keeping coin on your wallet is the safest way for your property, you can keep it on your wallet online, offline wallet or hard wallet is also very good.

If you don't plan to trade it would be best to keep your coins in a waller rather than an exchange.

Yes, what is the point giving a third party a control over your funds when you really do not have plans to trade it anyway. What everyone have said is totally right, use an exchange only if you know you want to buy some alts, and as long as you are not going to be trading, just keep off totally.

A lot of people have lost their funds by keeping their funds in exchange wallet and to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

What would be a better move ? to keep most of my crypto in Exchanges as seems better option. as with the constant flows - green to reds etc.
in order to make gains or min loss, it seems best to trade a red one to green
eg as today i had lots of reds, but to min loss, i took some of my ETH and verge and traded into XRP which mooned and now my gains are way up
as i keep this crypto thing a constant watch.

What do you all suggest?

i use a Coinomi wallet that is connected to Changelly and SHapeshift
so i do exchanges there.

What do you all recommend?

i am thinking just a wallet for holding a currency for long term and no intention to trade out? just add to? thoughts

I think store your capital in exchanger just the capital that you will use for trading. If you wish to store only without trading i think store in a walett that you keep the private key. Its more safe than.

If you are not a day trader and if you are just swing trader then it is a good idea to just keep your coins in their wallets because if you will put it on exchange or trading platforms and keep it there for long term then there is a high chance that you will lose them because of the possible cyber attacks that can be engaged by the hackers around the internet.

[AdamRay]

I think it should be split in 2 to coin your coin. You leave your wallet offline so secure, but if you need something to move back and forth, it's a bit difficult for you, not to mention that you lose your private key can not get back. For a wallet you can use it to trade at any time, trade more easily but you will also fear if the trading floor disappears, you will also lose property.

[ImSuparmin]

in my opinion, you better keep all the krypto in the wallet, because it's much safer, but remember keep all the important data in the safe folder. while if you keep it on your trading platform it's a bit more complicated and the security is not enough.

[brotherwood12]

as your condition , if you want trading it how can it place on wallet:P

but if you want hold it and if its huge ammount better keep in wallet ,

[ToxaBit]

already repeatedly talked about hacking hacks and other unpleasant processes with them, not trusting the funds to third parties. The conclusion is only one, you only need to save your funds in the place where you manage. If you are an active trader, it is better to store only the coins that you trade on the exchange

Is depend on yours strategy keeping or storing coins in online exchange are risky have possibly hached your investment, if have have daily activities in trade using online exchange is okay to staynor money inside the exchang and make sure you have an strong passwords.

[wordspavovv]

If you hold cryptos for long investment and big amounts, then you better keep them in a hardware wallet! If is for trading , keep them to a hot wallet !

[cybersofts]

Wallet usually got a better security and it's safer, so if you want to hold the coin for a long time without touching it then go for wallet, saving your coin in trading platform is only for trading purposes, dont save too many things in exchanges because, exchanges got a pretty bad reputation, it can suddenly close and run away with your coin

Indeed, crypto exchanges are not to be trusted. Always left what you can afford to lose. I normally use Coinomi app or CoinPayments.net to store my both bitcoin and altcoins, of course. I don't really trade everyday, though I used to checked the market quite often to see the most performing coins and invest to them. 

[richcorner100]

Because some exchange has issue of hacking so much better keep the coin in personal wallet that we have the private key so we have full control with the coin. This is good choice and will be more safe if you would like to hold the coin for long term investment. But if you would like doing short trading just keep in exchange to be more efisien to buy and sell, but dont put all coin keep in 1 exchange, use minimum 2 exchange to be more safe.

[Babebottle]

If you want to trad you should choose the exchange, otherwise, keep them in your wallet.

[atulvatsa]

It is always recommended to keep your coins in the wallets which private are in your control.

Well anyone who wants to be safe with their btcs and alts would choose to leave those that they're trading with in the exchange while safekeeping moat of their funds in a paper or hard wallet. Ypu'll never know when an exchange would have problems

As a trader it's imperative to keep your funds in an exchange so you have them on hand to take advantage of any opportunities or quickly crash out on bad news. If you are passively investing then it is wise to withdraw funds to a wallet so that they are much safer in the event of the exchange being hacked or so.

Leaving your coins on cryptocurrency exchange is very risky because they have some many issues from hacking attacks to sabotage. In fact, an exchange platform can go down anytime because we have seen what happened to Mt. Gox and VirCurrex - they are all down today because hacking issues, maintenance negligence, and sabotage that led many people to losing their investments. Therefore, I prefer storing my coins in Coinpayments.net and as you mention Coinomi wallet for android for me and my coins safety.

It all depends on the personal mindset and style of trading whether how they want to trade the crypto coins whether you are interested in investing or day trading or swing trading. If you can see I always use exchanges for day trading alone and for holding the coins for longer-term and swing trading the coins for few weeks then i go for wallet like Zebpay which is more secure than exchanges and nowadays there are tons of problems with exchanges going on, and i can see the issues clearly which is mentioned in this forum posts .

Even if he set strong passwords to the exchange wallets still it is highly secured so it is better to keep in the wallets if there is no intention of trading them.Because keeping crypto in online wallets or exchange is highly unsecured because they can shut down the exchange at any time and can take all your money.
