Exchange that makes trading easy, Your suggestion

[YoungBoyCrypto]

Hey everyone,  The market hasn’t been looking great lately, so I’ve decided to take a break from trading for a bit. Plus, with OKX exiting my country, I’ve been forced to explore other options for futures trading. Right now, I mostly use Hyperliquid, but honestly, I find CEX platforms easier to navigate—just more straightforward, in my opinion, haha. 

I’ve been considering a few alternatives, mainly the top 5 on CMC. Bybit and BingX stand out since I can also trade forex pairs there, and the 0 slippage is definitely a big plus. Still, I want to make sure I’m choosing the best platform though, for my trading requirements.

If you’re actively trading on exchanges, I’ll love to hear your opinions. What platforms do you use, and what’s your experience been like? Drop your opinions below!

Hyperliquid is just a new site created last year. I don't know what's the difference between this exchange compared to other exchanges like OKX, Binance, and Bitget. For me, they are just the same easy to navigate unless you are pointing to something else.

There are lots of features missing on Hyperliquid, and I can't trust a new exchange with limited features. It is listed as a derivative exchange, and their spot exchange supported only 80 coins.
I stay using with the top 5 exchanges on Coingecko since most of the features that we need is almost there compared to Hyperliquid exchange.

honestly, I find hyperliquid more intuitive than other CEX, I always despised the fact that in exchange you need to manage different kinds of sub account, like spot, future and so on.
but before I decided to go to hyperliquid I used bybit and find their fee to be really high even for small future trades. but can't deny that their UI is good.
but at the end of the day, if you already have some choices and just torn apart between the two why don't settle with the one with more liquidity?

You are finding "best" exchanges that are all centralized and you have to know risk of CEX. This warning about Centralized exchanges and safety of your Bitcoin fund is never old. If you don't have good Bitcoin capital management on how you store, and continue to store it on CEX, you are doing risky Bitcoin storage.

Events made you scare about custodial wallets, centralized exchanges.
Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

[slaman29]

You're not wrong, OP. CEXs are easier to navigate, I learnt all my trading on Forex, and when I first started using those smart contract DEX when Ethereum came out, really needed time. Now it's so much easier to swap, everything is more or less click and swap now but honestly discovering things like fee adjustment and understanding slippage and all that is still a bit harder than CEX.

But crypto only CEX also a bit more complicated than regular forex IMO. I mean Binance is humongous and confusing even for veterans. Especially they have completely different sections like @shinratensei_ said for futures, options, spot etc.

[Bitcoin_Arena]

I think Bybit's UI is ok. The liquidity also Okish compared to the likes of MEXC when trading low volume coins. If you are a fan of Binance, you might find it easy to adapt to. Most of the crypto exchanges are not so much different any way. From deposits, withdrawals, Coin margined futures, USDT/USDC margined futures to sport markets. Once you master how things work in one exchange, the other should be easy to use as well.

Once you master how things work in one exchange, the other should be easy to use as well.

Once you master trading, you will not be too concerned about the easiest platform to trade in. Any platform that has the necessary features and facilities for trading is okay for them.

As a trader, that should be the focus: learning to trade regardless of the platform you are on, not just trading and depending on a platform because they are easy to use. A trader should not be completely dependent on one platform for trading in case the platform collapses tomorrow.

[JeffBrad12]

not even a match comparing between the two.

the first one is top 2 exchange while the other below rank 10. in term of liquidity, you got better chance with the first one.
in term of reliability, you also got better chance with the first one.
so I think it's easy choice for you, just follow CMC's ranking system it's mostly a good guide to selecting exchanges.

[Bitcoin_Arena]

I think Bybit's UI is ok. The liquidity also Okish compared to the likes of MEXC when trading low volume coins.

Funny that I suggested Bybit yesterday and then a few hourslater there are reports that the exchange got massively hacked!

A stern reminder that one should never keep a lot of money lying idle in these centralized exchanges. Those of us who witnessed the collapse of FTX knowhow things can turn ugly in no time. OP, I am hopeful you have read through what members have submitted to you, especially advice regarding the use of centralized exchanges.

But even if there is only money on the exchange for trading, it also needs to be withdrawn either to your wallet or to another exchange for trading. Despite the statements of the CEO of Bybit that the users' money was not affected by the hack, I decided to close my orders on the exchange and withdraw them to Binance.

Despite the statements of the CEO of Bybit that the users' money was not affected by the hack, I decided to close my orders on the exchange and withdraw them to Binance.

Bybit total asset value is about $20B, and the hack is around $1.5B, but I don't consider it is a small hack in history. In fact this hack is biggest ever in value historically and it is about 8% of Bybit total value.

As customers of Bybit, it's safest to withdraw your money out of their exchange, wait for dust to settle before you can consider it is safe enough to deposit money back to Bybit. As CEOs, they have to say everthing is fine, because they know that bankruns are always terrible with unestimated effects on the company.

It happened years ago with Terra, FTX and can happen again with Bybit, as customers we don't have to take risk with our money. When we still have chance and time for withdrawals, do it as soon as possible.

[shinratensei_]

apparently bybit is hacked and I don't think it's a good time to trade in there, things might chance and the hack might not affect their exchange but 1.4 billion is still too big of an exchange heist in my opinion better safe than sorry I just withdrawn some of the money and gonna wait until dust settle.

It's as usual, not your key not your money maybe hyperliquid and DEX in general is really the way for trading, at least we know the inner working of the contracts and it's audited. no such thing as approving malicious contract due to human error.

For me I think other exchanges are quite easy for trading binance is one of my favorites, it gives me smooth access and everything is easy to navigate through and a good interface but nevertheless it depends on what exchange you think can give you that ease for trading not withstanding all other exchanges you mentioned are definitely cool. But for the records I think some of this CEX platforms are more of scam and it will do you a deal of loss so you need to be more careful with some of this exchanges.

There are some exchanges that are buggy and lagging during execution process, once an exchange is having this underlying issues, I don't use them because you will get caught when you stop loss or take profit is about to execute or you may sometimes missed taking most of your profits but above some of the exchange you mentioned, I have used OKX and I can say they are very good exchange but they left the space due to some political reasons.

For liquidity, I will suggest you go Binance, try and avoid Bybit. Those guys are very bad when you want to sell a new listing token. There were times I had some listed coin on the first candle, more than 15 minutes, I couldn't sell 100% of my asset. I don't know why they did that probably because of dump but that's very bad job. I owned my asset and I choose to sell how I want it and as long as there is liquidity, it's pointless not allowing people to sell, that's some too centralized behavior.

[armanda90]

Talking about recommended exchange based on my experienced here any list should you try and easily trade there.

Firstly Binance, you can trade easily without have to move your assets to trading fund such as any exchange have two place put your fund between main spot and trading spot. Binance have many list for altcoin trading and most interested with Binance each coins have reach minimum daily transaction volume if won't delist from their exchange. If you trade at Binance easily your buy or sell order filled without get much time waiting for as other exchange have lower transaction volume.

Second option you can trade at Bybit, the same with Binance there are have many list altcoin for trading at Bybit exchange but yesterday got bad news after hacking cases, but you can trade, withdraw and deposit fund without get trouble during hack cases happening and all feature running normally in Bybit exchange.

That's not true. Even in Binance, you will have to move funds between the wallets for different trading options. If you want to trade in the spot market, you will move your funds there; for P2P, you move them to Funding; and for futures, you move them to Futures wallet and so on. If you are using Binance, I don't understand why you say that Binance doesn't have such a thing. Can you make futures trades while having your balance in the spot wallet? You can't.

Other than that, I agree that Binance is pretty good when it comes to the UI and user-friendliness. You can easily transfer funds between the accounts and access all the sections pretty easily, especially when you are using the mobile app.

Second option you can trade at Bybit, the same with Binance there are have many list altcoin for trading at Bybit exchange but yesterday got bad news after hacking cases, but you can trade, withdraw and deposit fund without get trouble during hack cases happening and all feature running normally in Bybit exchange.

I wouldn't recommend using an exchange that just got hacked even if they are saying that things are normal, users' funds are safe, and it's safe to deposit and withdraw. We have seen so many exchanges collapsing after such things in the past. It's better to stay safe than to be sorry.

[joniboini]

Since you mentioned that OKX is leaving your country, is there a list of exchanges that do the same thing as them? You probably need to figure out if your government bans exchanges too. For example, my country lists Binance as an illegal exchange because they don't have an office here afaik, but Binance doesn't explicitly leave or block people from my country. It can be troublesome especially if KYC is involved and the ToS is not really clear when such a case happens. CMIIW.

I tried trading on Hyperliquid as well, and what I would say is that, it's good and bad at the same time.

Good in the sense that if the coin is very risky, the number of leverage is lowered. For example, Bitcoin offers a max leverage of 50 while Hyperliquid, their own token offers a x3 leverage. It's different in every altcoin. What's bad though is that, their spot trading offers only a few tokens and some aren't just as popular. They're only offering popular tokens on leverage trading, and most of the tokens that can be traded on spot are meme coins.

I tried trading on Binance, and Bitget as well, and I don't see that much of a difference between the two of them. Maybe if there's a difference between these top exchanges, it's the trading fees, funding rates, and the tokens that they're supporting (but I doubt on this one since top exchanges are listing new tokens more often). As for my experience, I might lose that much money in trading, but my experience is good still. No problem at all. Just focus on those top exchanges so that you will not have a problem when it comes to liquidity.

agreed with some of the point here, hyperliquid can't really escape the fragmentation of liquidity in DEX, all the money always going to CEX and as a result it's not as "convenient" as CEX, but I think what makes it worse is the ticker auction happened at hyperliquid.

but yeah, the point about their spot trading offer is on point, too much random coin in there, 90% i don't even know. why not just list some important coin and call it a day, can help improve their liqudiity as well, but nay, I guess they really liked those memes that nobody really sought after.

I was just talking about this somewhere else, people were saying Bybit was the best, when it used to be Binance, snd then boom they got a MtGox happen to them

Over 1 BILLION dollars gone, and you know, so many exchanges have stolen money but use the hack excuse lol you can never trust a CEX. Cold wallet, multisig, and they still got hacked I bet its just some greedy guys.

Use a CEX if you have to, I always do. But never keep a single cent there.
