You are doing it all wrong.
You said you have experience loss already with localbitcoins thru a hack and yet you still want to do it to another exchange.
Why not look for another option to keep your crypto currencies?

I suggest you go look for a cold wallet by now and afterwards we can give you some exchange that are trustworthy. But still I wont prefer to leave it there for a long time.

It is not really about the hack, for anytime it could happen to any exchange. It is about your security first. The very least you could do is value your money for now.

Stick to bigger exchanges if you want to keep your coins there for continuous trading. Most big exchange like binance offer tighter security like smaller or new exchange sites. But the safest and most advisable would be to get yourself at least your own wallet for now. Don't keep your coins in exchanges. If in case things went good and you have a budget for it, secure your funds through a hard wallet.

I always keep my funds fully secured because i can't keep my funds in any exchanges like fork delta, etherdelta.com and other decentralized exchange. But some centralized exchanges binance, kucoin, and houbi also can you keep in those.

I also like that to secure my funds or assets in binance especially, because the exchange there is very good and fast and safe from the word loss

If you're not yet trading,m your funds should be stored on a secured wallet and your private keys secured.
For secured exchanges, go for those with the highest volumes and daily trades, they are more secure, but not totally immune to hacks.

If you afraid exchanger that get hacked, it is better to save assets in wallet. Try ledger nano, because if you save in exchanger, there are some risk that will come with it. If the exchanger hacked like your experience with Localbitcoin, you will lose more.

If you want to keep your money safe, you should try offline wallets. The fact that exchange has not been hacked so far does not mean that it will not be hacked. For storing your BTCs you should stay away from exchanges that take the management of your assets.

To find a good exchange that has not yet been hacked, you can look at the list of the crypto currency exchanges with a high trading volume, for example:
https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/

As a rule, large crypto currency exchanges hire highly qualified employees and invest heavily in security, therefore you most likely will not be hacked if you choose one of the TOP-20 crypto exchange markets.

Obviously if you want to keep your coins "safely" , you don't need to stored it on any exchanges around.

But since you want to do regular trades and don't want a hassle way of depositing and withdrawing it and vice versa, you want an exchange where you can put some "trust" in terms of "security".

Well then, you can put a shot on those reputable exchanges that already established a good reputation. What are those? Honestly I can't suggest you some since I want you to learned it by yourself. Who knows that we might have different experienced using those exchanges.

Just remember one thing, it's not 100% assurance that your funds are safe even using a big exchanges. It's just that you are minimizing the risks of losing your funds when you choose a reputable one.

Goodluck.

Take your money and save it in the bank.
that is probably the safest way, because when you start trading you are sure that your exchange is safe for saving assets / coins.
if you doubt how you trade. this is a fundamental issue of a trader.

You should remember to avoid store your crypto currencies with large amount on exchanges. There are no exchanges with 100% safe. Moreover, you store assets on unfamiliar exchanges, it will have higher risk. But if you ask for the best exchange to keep currencies, in my view it is Binance. However, you should think to store it with other ways, for examples : keeping it on hard wallets.

Avoid keeping your crypto on exchanges. There are no "safe exchanges" really. If it hasn't been hacked yet, it probably will be in the future.

If you're actively trading, I recommend Coinbase and Binance. Both are very reputable and both keep the vast majority of deposited crypto in cold storage. Out of an abundance of caution, I would avoid storing funds there though. That's what wallets are for.

I recommend downloading Electrum if you need a lightweight, user-friendly wallet for storing funds.

Use an offline wallet like Nano Ledger S to keep your crypto assets safe. Although expensive but its worth buying specially if you have lot of coins at your disposal. Do not just rely on on exchanges as there are lot of exchanges that have been infiltrated by the hackers like the latest was Cryptopia exchange therefore even trusted exchanges are not reliable too.

i keep my crypto in nano ledger S,and i think is fully secured because everything we do manually.

[malphite534]

For sure lot of people keep stolen you funds if your information about your funds in not secured such as people need information to access your account so don't share it to other people you don't even know.

You recognize the dangers of storing your coins in an exchange and yet you still want to do it, take control of your coins and do not keep them at exchanges, if you are going to be a trader then as soon as you end your day get your coins out of the exchange, that way you will reduce the chances that you lose your coins to a hacker that found a way around the security of the exchange.

if you want to hold your coin for the long term and you dont want to trade just put in myetherwallet.. im sure your coin is safe and private key protected..

I could recommend to store you money in a hard wallet, I'm everyone who say that to you.

However, since you are asking about exchange,..

Binance is a good exchange, it has been hacked but it does not affect the traders money, it's still intact and they had improve their security already.
You should go with big exchange is safe keeping funds as an alternative because they have their clients as that way they boost their reputation.

I'm sorry but to be honest, all exchange are open for hacks I believed. So there's also that risk to lose your money in an exchange. That's why we practice not to put a lot of money in an exchange and just enough for you to make trades and then withdraw them somewhere safe, in a hard ware wallet.

However, if we look at history, Binance is a good choice, well they have been hack but they are very quick to respond. https://hackernoon.com/alleged-hack-of-binance-linked-to-viacoin-pump-bb9066bf96bf. It was not a direct hack, although hackers used to spoof Binance and then steal credentials to be able to access the account of unsuspecting victims.
