Hey,

I want to transfer my Bitcoin, BCash, Bitcoin Gold to my Ledger Nano S and I have a few questions to avoid mistakes.

I hold my bitcoins in an Electrum wallet since 24.07.2017. So I guess I also hold BCash and Bitcoin Gold.

So for my understanding I have to start with sending my Bitcoins to my hardware wallet. After that I have to download the electroncash wallet, enter my seeds and then I am able to send my BCash to the hardware wallet. To get my Bitcoin Gold, I have to wait until a electrum gold wallet is released, right? I will then enter my seeds again and claim my Bitcoin Gold. Are my assumption correct?

Thanks in advance.
No not seeds you should backup first the private key where you save your bitcoin and then transfer your bitcoin to a new wallet just make a new wallet in electrum and send it there before you install electron cash you should delete the electrum wallet(note you should had the private keys both old and new wallet) before you install electron cash and import your private keys ..

He want to send his BTC,BCH and BTG to hardware wallet and his BTC is currently located in Electrum,so why you think he need to backup his private keys from Electrum?

When he send BTC from Electrum to Ledger Nano S and transaction is confirmed,then his BTC is safe and secure in new address and with new Ledger 24 words seed.He can then use his old Electrum seed to claim BCH through ElectronCash and send it to Ledger BCH wallet.

As for me,bbacardi is absolutely right and all steps are correct.
