This really worries me... for a day trader, your crypto needs to be in the exchanges. We have witnessed exchanges get hacked and when it happens we fear to lose our asset coz with exchanges you do not own any private key.
I do not know how exactly these decentralised exchanges like etherdelta, idex works. I only understand that they are decentralised but on the other day when I was trying to trade some ICO coins in idex then I had to deposit my coin to idex which means I let have them my coins.
Is there any possibility for these decentralised exchanges to get hacked like the centralised exchanges? This question always wonders me. Am i really safe keeping my crypto in the exchanges?
I imagine my cryptos are in my hardware wallet but still I can trade them like I do in exchanges. (I am day dreaming

Congrats to those who are holding their coins for long term in the cold storage not worrying about your crypto like me.
