With good projects the best way to trade is to not trade at all.
For all other needs just try to find an exchange that won't scam you - that's 50% of success, LOL - sad but true.
You're mentioning forex - it's also very scammy market, it's difficult to find broker that won't scam you and offer reasonable fees.
BTW I think this post doesn't belong to this forum's section.
I will first be on something that I really know, the Forex market. I will seriously disagree. If you join up random brokers that offer bonuses, then you are meant to get scam. IF you check out TP Global FX, that I have mentioned, you should realize they are NOT offering bonuses, or the reason I joined. They do have great facilities, but the SIMPLEST logic for me is them having PROPER regulation. I hope you are not required to know what I mean by PROPER regulation. As per what you said about projects, you are very much spot on there. I rather trust a Forex broker offering Cryptos than to go for specific Crypto broker which is not even properly registered let alone regulated!
And lastly, can you tell me where the thread should be switch to? I thought this was the best section, but maybe I was wrong, so where should it go?
