Poloniex is clear and safe platform. Just blame yourself, not the tool.
Do you really think that all these people have bugs with? Just think before talk.
Clear and safe? So WTF with loan without any open position or order in margin trading for 3 days?Huh

Right now i try to evacuate funds that i can move to another exchange.

I've never had a single problem with Poloniex.
Obviously you should never stack your currencies on exchange sites if you don't need them for immediate trading.
Also always use 2FA !

Poloniex flat out stole .6 bitcoins - - they said I was probley hacked and somebody used my account to with draw the bitcoins - but low and behold - my email never got a confirmation email - so it had to be a inside job - so people get out of their - you'll be missing coins... and they won't own up to the theft - I asked what ip with drew the coins - they never would give me that ip that took the .6 bitcoins - and today that's worth well over 2300 bucks...

I think it's not safe, for me it is scam for small players like me.

2 days ago i try to open long positionin in the margin trading. I closed my buy order (before i buy and start long position), but my loan was still active! I can't move my funds to exchange, i can't make any position in margin exchange and this loan still counting lenidng fee.... Today, after 2 days, loan wasn't closed (it has 2 days of duration and i turned off auto-renew) it renew itself without my permission for another 3 days! WTF? And i click to "off" in auto-renew so many times before and now.... Today i don't know if after 3 days it will close or renew one more time.
And right now, they slowly steal my funds, because they force me to pay for loan that i don't use and i can't close... Ahh, and of course support still doesn't respond to my message.

No exchange is a safe place to store your coins. Always withdraw everything you don't need for trading. And 2FA is mandatory. Poloniex is a reputable exchange.

I have a ticket in Polo for 4 months... still pending...
                         

This is an indicator to: Take your money out while you can

same happen with me. I have contacted his support contacts and have tickets for almost 5 months but still pending. my advice do not use big amount because it will be difficult and very long time to withdraw from polo

First of all, I like UI of Bitfinex the most. My favorite overall exchange is Bittrex, and I am still using Poloniex every day and its great. I've deposited and withdrew over $20,000 and traded for millions of USD. Not a problem. Except for when it was down for 3 days. That was not cool.

As for their company, they recently moved to a new building and hired more people. Doubt they will be going away any time soon. Finally, they cannot just take your money and disappear. They are regulated by US laws.

Polo is still usable if you don't need any support. But my support ticket has gone un-answered for months, not good sign for a healthy exchange, at least it shows their support system is not well managed, if support is not well managed, makes you wonder what other issues there might be. I would not recommend polo for anything major. I avoided mtgox, btc-e with no loss, because I can read and act on early signs of problem.

Is Poloniex still a good trading site ? Recently i engaged in investing my money in poloniex and since the price drops i didn't sell my tradings yet and i was shocked when i found out that my tradings were already withdrawn from my account without notifying me on my on email. Any thoughts guy ? I need help Sad
Maybe your accounts has been hacked by hacker and they turn off function or deteled notification in your email, because if they can hack your PC, why they do not have detail your email account Wink. So, if you do not want loss your money in next time, you should create new account and security with 2FA before start trading.

I read so many horror stories about Poloniex that I actively avoid them.  But it sounds like you needed to setup 2FA.

Seriously don't take the risk. Just trade somewhere safer like bittrex and always move your coins to your own wallets where you control the keys.

Poloniex is safe and a regulated/licensed exchange.
It is complete and utter SHIT though. Many issues with deposits not being credited and support is completely non-existent.

Use Bittrex.

I think so. Well the problem with poloniex (basically all exchanges, kinda) is their support. Their support system sucks so bad that it seems like they implemented a support system that came from the 90s. As if they are not dealing in a fast phased environment and their support takes days to reply to any inquiry.

I find it really sad that it has to come down to threatening the company's reputation in order to get what you are meant to have. I am still yet to see the higher level of support they said they'd provide after getting rid of the chat box.

How recent is that? These days you can't even log into Poloniex without having a confirmation code sent to your email, which you then have to type back into Polo before they let you in.

First up, make secure your account is totally secure by applying all possible security measures. Poloniex had been troublesome for me a few months ago and I've never returned ever since. Their support team sucks to the core, ignoring tickets for weeks. Be sure to visit the site frequently to have an eye on your investments so that nobody can steal them from your account.
