As little as possible, usually a deposit and then use the BTC for whatever it is I want and withdraw any of the remaining, there are a few exchanges I trust but still will not risk it.

Why not use a decentralized exchange and be always in full control of your funds?

I prefer to manage my own coins, wouldn't be against a decentralized exchange option though.

3 bitcoin is all i trust exchanges too. I've lost several btc on some exchanges so i will not risk any more.
If i buy coins i make sure to transfer them back to my wallet too, so it is safe again.

The max i hold is 10 bitcoin. I mostly use bittrex and they are very long active in the world of bitcoin. They run would be possible but i don't
see that happening, because their support guys seems nice fellows.

Hey everyone,

Just wondering, what percentage of your total funds do you usually keep at a single exchange?

I mean, what is your risk mitigation strategy, considering the many exchanges that went kaput?

it depending how much you have bitcoins,and how brave you are,its about trading and keep your bitcoin on hot plate,if you dont trust exchange,just put it little amount there,i just put half of my bitcoins amount on exchange when i do short term trading.

for me, i keep the limit at 0.50 BTC, as I am new to online job so I don't have much amount to take risk with.
But with Okpay I do not need any person for exchange, I can myself exchange my money to fiat and back to bitcoin without any fee.

On kraken i keep max 5 bitcoin. But on small exchanges i keep max around .5 and 1 BTC. F.e. c-cex max .5 BTC.
But on bittrex i feel confident holding 1 BTC

Not more than 0.05 BTC. I know this is not much but I lost almost 0.4 BTC on the Mintpal shutdown. I worked hard to get these coins, I do not want to risk another lost of this amount.

i think before mintpal offline. they've been told all their members. via email so that all the coins that they have had to immediately pull. it also occurs in swisscex. I know the exchange is to be a scam just mtgox or cryptsy

I think their is no minimum or maximum for a exchange , ya but some exchanges can keep the limit, but my never keep amount in exchange when ever i feel to buy i transfer the amount and buy it and then transfer the bought coin to other wallet for safe . if tomorrow exchange goes bankrupt or scam i should be safe.

This figure varies from person to person and some one suggested me to have little balance for being on safer side i.e., 25% of the balance. It helps to everyone a lot I guess since it gives peace of mind and can work and sleep easily.

Around 20% of my balance. so it's 0.2 for maximum i keep at a single exchange, because every week i need to spend 0.2 for turn it into fiat for something in real life.

The maximum coins that I keep in an online exchange is .2, as I always keep mine in my cold storage, just to make sure that it is safe, I just transfer coins when I needed it when I don't have extra cash...

i'm still trust an exchange but currently i don't dare to save all my money into 1 exchange because it's too risky and i was heard that some people got hacked into their exchanges account so for now i just only save 25% my bitcoin into 1 exchange from all my money

I don't trust exchanges at all now.
It is just a place to hold your money or assets waiting for them too take it all away from you. Angry

I don't keep over 0.2-0.25 BTC in 1 website as I don't want to risk over this amount. It can depend on what's the price of BTC as earlier I used to invest more. The same goes for Forex too while in stock markets, I have invested over 5-6 BTC.

I've never left coins on an exchange before logging out ever.

I'm more intrigued about the fiat situation. There must be traders leaving hundreds of thousands on there simply because it's so unwieldy to get it off. I wonder whether they sweat in the same manner.
