What would be a better move ? to keep most of my crypto in Exchanges as seems better option. as with the constant flows - green to reds etc.
in order to make gains or min loss, it seems best to trade a red one to green
eg as today i had lots of reds, but to min loss, i took some of my ETH and verge and traded into XRP which mooned and now my gains are way up
as i keep this crypto thing a constant watch.

What do you all suggest?

i use a Coinomi wallet that is connected to Changelly and SHapeshift
so i do exchanges there.

What do you all recommend?

i am thinking just a wallet for holding a currency for long term and no intention to trade out? just add to? thoughts

A good advice for you is that you only have to put money on the trading site when you want to trade in a certain crypto, do not keep your money too long there, there exists the risk of losing all the money, it's higher that you use a wallet.

Is better to keep all the cryptocurrency on the trading because is much better to do that than to keep it in your wallet because your money will not gain in that aspect while if you going to keep it in trading you are probably gain income..

The place for keeping crypto is depending on your works and what do you want to do with your cryptos, like you can't let them in your wallets all the time if you want to trade right ? Specially right now when the fee transaction is insane.

I think it's fine to keep your coins in trading platform or exchanges but only if you're a daily trader, for ease of access and less trading fee and with only a small amount,because keeping all your coins in exchanges is not good or too risky. There are many possibilities that your coins might be lost,either by hacking or circumstances that is beyond your control like exchanges closing.Wallet is still the best option to keep your coins specially offline wallet which is the safest and secured wallet.

It all depends on what is your goal . If you want to hold for a long term use a safe wallet and hold your own private keys .
If you are a trader then it's best to keep them on the exchange ,Because it will take you so much time and so much fees to constantly transfer your money from the wallet to the exchange and back. Me personally i keep them all on the exchange platform , that way i know if anything dips and i want to buy ,i will not miss the opportunity.

I prefer to you to bot store your cryptocurrencies in exchangers. The purpose of exchangers is to trade coins abd it is not wallet. It is not safe because the exchanger can close their website any time and also many exchangers are been hacked by the hackers. So it is safe to store your coins in trusted wallets.

My advice is to diversify your crypto wealth and have some in hardware wellets like the Ledger Nano or Trezor, some in software wallets like Jaxx or Electrum, some in exchanges where you can trade it and some in alt coin desktop wallets.

I am deeply skeptical of the conventional wisdom that you should hold all your alt coins in the desktop wallet apps. I have yet to see a single alt coin with 2FA. All I have seen is single password that stands between hackers and your coins on a desktop wallet for many different coins including Rain, Linda, Safexcoin, 1337, LDoge, Hyperstake.

Basically it is better to play around with your portfolios on an exchange as you have the opportunity to make some profits and be able to sell off quickly and buy a coin that's performing well during price dips.However,if the exchange is ever hacked or sanctioned you could lose your money

It is safe to store cryptocurrency on cold wallets. But if you constantly trade in all or most of its volume, then there is no sense in transferring funds from the exchange.

I think it is more better to keep your cryptos on a wallet if you want to be safe from hackers because there are many hackers now who attacks the trading flatforms and it is really bad. But if you want to quick sell your cryptos because of price fluctuation and sell it really fast when the price grow up, you can keep your crypto on trading platforms but like what i`ve said, it is not safe to keep at trading platforms.

If you keep the bitcoin on the trading exchange platform, keep a small amount of money for transactions, the solution to store large amounts of money is not the best solution because the exchange platform can be hacked or collapsed then the possibility of you lose everything. I think you should keep bitcoin in your online wallet, you can download and install it on your PC or phone, or you can keep them in your paper wallet or hardware wallet.

Please, if you are going to store your cryptos on an exchange, at least, be sure that you have your account verified.
If they suddenly want to change their policies, they can do it without any further explanation. So be careful with that.. Hardware wallets are always going to be the best thing that you can do.

In large exchanges it is possible to keep part of his cryptocurrencies for trading, but most of the best stored in cold wallets for long term storage. But still no 100% no-risk ways to store cryptocurrency. You can only choose the least risky ways. Exchanges can be attacked by hackers, closed, etc.

For safety reasons you cannot calculate like large exchange or small scale. In the hackers point of view, many of them lost the bitcoins in the trading site alone when comparing with the online wallet. Even that online wallet also been hacked individually not a complete wallet as of now.
So I suggest to keep your fund on wallet for safety concerns, if you keep on exchanging the coins to different one you can better have on the trading sites. There are some scam sites also there so be careful in that.

If you are trading just put it in exchanges for you to use it anytime and no more hassle when transferring and no fees. If your only holding your coins for long term purposes then you can put it in your hard wallet for safe keeping.

Is it really need to put those coin in hard wallet? I mean my coin is just on my account i don't have hard wallet to keep it safe because i know this is already safe.

The best option we have is to keep all the coin your own wallet after buying them in exchanges because we have seen many scams happened to exchanges. So there is no specific guarantee even though you secure your wallet. My humble suggestion keep your coins in your own wallet in order to be safe.
