Assuming you're mostly going to do ALTs, both of these are what you want.

https://poloniex.com/ - tends to have more volume, lower fees but chart sucks.

https://bittrex.com/ - better charts. I prefer Bittrex for a variety of reasons but everyone has their preference.


If you're going to get serious about things then you should probably sign up at https://www.coinigy.com for their charting and the ability to set alerts etc.

And yes, you will lose especially if you trade on emotion, listen to all the hype on the forums and troll boxes etc. Stay disciplined, set out some rules for yourself and stick to them no matter what.

I agree, this two exchanges are more reliable to me because there many traders and turnover is huge. Volume are big enough to trust this both exchanges. I may also add to OP that do your own personalized research before you jump, be updated on each coins or cryptos being traded because this is your arm in dealing to start cryptocurrency trading.

Hello everyone,

I thought of giving day trading a go, I do have a limit of funds to invest into this project, and it's XXXX, I am also aware that I CAN and WILL most likely loose funds doing this, but I am doing this for "fun" and my limit or spendings on this project is not making me homeless nor is it going to make me cry, if I do end up loosing.

I just wanted to know, what kind of platform everyone is using for day trading, or trading in general, which site should I avoid, give me your best suggestions :-)

Thank you!
You already received some good advice about where to begin to trade but one of the most important things is to not get carried away and try to trade just to trade, trade when you see an opportunity to make money, if you don’t see it then wait, the markets are not going to disappear.

Thank you for your post vatived22

I have heard stuff about Poloniex, sadly not the best, one of  them being the techinal issues they are having, can make it worse for you in the long run

Thank you for your post findingthemoon

Yes, so I've heard, that is also why I am staying a bit away from Poloniex for the time being, it's too "scary" regarding the technical issues they are having at the moment.

Be warned about Poloniex they often have technical issues which can result in big losses from crashes following it. It does however allow you to margin trade to earn bigger profits (or losses).

i personally prefer bittrex.com with poloniex the high volumn can mean that price can easily go against you especially when you want to enter a trade as entry is very important. you can also try liqui.io

Thank you for your post Viper1!

I will take a look at Bittrex at first, as it seems like a good place to start out, also coinigy!

And that is 100% what I am going for, I won't trade on emotion, nor will I listed to the forums etc regarding "selling" or "buying" since it can go both ways really, I will buy, sit on my hands till I reach the point I feel comfortable and then sell :-)

Thank you once again!
