Used to be super active but got burned by most of the old closures (Cryptsy, btc-e, Bter, etc), so where is the best place to trade nowadays? I have a Coinbase account already along with Kraken but not sure of other options that may be better. Thanks!
If you need to know more about live exchanges(centralized), you should make use of
Coingecko to check all active ones, they have their ratings included in 10/10 but in not sure which one is the best but I believe the ones that have 10/10 ratings and 9/10 ratings have huge liquidity and you can make exchange most of the top coins without any problem.
Try and do some comaprism with volumes too, sometimes exchanges tend to display huge number of volume from the exchange but sometimes they are from wash trading, so make the comparison with coingecko or coin market cap to see the real volume, they have a way of generating the real volume from exchanges using API, you will know quickly the exchange that is into wash trading and the ones that are into real trading, even decentralized that used bots, you can use this method to fish out wash trading platforms.
