You can keep your fund in an exchange that accepts 2 factor authentication like- email verification, phone verification, google authentication etc. So that you & only you have the access to your wallet. You can use "Coinbase", "Bittrex" & any other exchane that has a good reputation & two factor authentication facility.
Im quite new to crypto so i wanted to know what exchanges do you use and i'd be grateful for advises on security. I currently keep my crypto on localbitcoins but it recently got hacked to im concerned for my money. I want to move it somewhere safe but still be able to make trades without much fuss. Im still learning to trade but im pretty serious about it. Can you recommend me a good exchange that hasn't been hacked yet?
Exchanges not meant for storing it is only for exchanging your funds so if you are storing there means then it is your mistake.Wallets are the one we need to store our funds and the type of wallet will choose the security level and if you want maximum security then you should buy an hardware wallet.parties can scam anytime, so use a safe wallet like desktop wallet or hardware wallet to save your funds

Localbitcoins would be the last place where I would keep my coins knowing the fact that it recently got hacked and the fact that there are so many scammers in that playground.If you have a big capital and trade with a small amount from your capital then what can do is, keep your capital in a trusted wallet(Mycelium, Exodus etc...).
Then transfer the amount you want to trade with in to an exchange that is more secured than the others(Binance) . This is the safest way not to loose all your capital and still trade on an exchange.
Research is the best way that you can use inorder for you to find a exchange that can ensure the safety of your funds. You said that you been experienced a worse scenario where your bitcoins are stolen by hackers, you should be smart and be intelligent always for you not experience that situation again. There are only few exchanges that have high security like Binance, Bibox and Okex. You should choose careful!
If you want a secured exchange then don't ever enter and put your capital in some site. Especially if the site is new and you have no specific information about it. Must obtained information first to assure it's safe . ! And choose thus site that has a 2FA as well to protect your funds from hackers.
it's true because 2FA security is very safe for me to protect my assets, because all this time I have used 2FA security, my wallet has never been hacked

It's better to not use the funds for anything than to keep and safe in secure wallets. There are many secure wallets we can use and even in our personal computer to save those funds. But we never have a chance to grow the funds because we decide to not use in anything and the money itself will not turn to bigger. Trading will be another way to increase the balance we have but of course, we need to select the recommend website and have a good reputable, so we don't have afraid for the bad things that might happen.

exchange is only used to make sales and purchases of cryptocurrency and look for benefits that you can get from utilizing coin price movements, whereas if an exchange is used to store cryptocurrency assets you have that is a bad choice because your assets can be lost because the exchange can be affected hack like what happened some time ago.

Actually all exchanges are very likely to be hacked even though they have high security. My advice after trading, it is better to move the results into bank account and do not keep it too long in exchange, because if it is too long to save it is likely to be hacked very high. I always do that if after trading. I usually move the results that I get to my savings bank account. I still keep it if I want to trade again but it doesn't last for a long time. That is my way of keeping my funds safe.
I always keep my funds in my personal wallet except any exchange like forkdelta, etherdelta, hitbtc many more. I just keep my funds Binance and Kucoin exchanges because of safe exchange.
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 believe that to keep your funds secured, you have to spread out your portfolio projects that you researched and make sure to always have a cold wallet somewhere.
Cryptopia is different from other exchange . others are fully verified to be secure we dont know yet if crypto hacking is inside job or what if they intented to scam their users ?
For safety reasons we must not store all of our assets and cash in one place . we must diversify them and scatter them on different kind of wallet or exchange so that we can have a back up if ever the other one will be hack .

I think you can use any wallet/ device/ network you want but the easy way is never share with others, don't trust someone take control your equipment. Second thing is never save your asset into exchanges, many problems about this one. Last thing is always up date your information about new system and fees, in this one can break your activity, trust me.
To keep your accnt. Secured always avoid phising site, one's you enter or install all personal transactions performed with your computer will be recorded in the attacker's database . In this way, the hacker's retrieves your personal information and can completely empty your accnt. Second, always enable your 2FA authy in your wallet.
I use ledger since it's very acessible and it's safe. I don't keep my funds in exchange or any other third party wallets since it can be hacked. I always tend to hold my funds in which I have my private key.
Mishandling of our wallet were causes of losing our keys especially when we used to share computers to log in. Hard wallets is so expensive and isn't available in our country, so we used online wallet just like mew but I've never experience of losing my keys or even hacked by someone.
