    Recommended Crypto Platform/Exchange to trade the Major ( those with largest Market Caps / Highest traded Volume ) , I.E. BTC, XRP, LTC, ETH, DASH, DOGE, BCH, BTG , etc.

    I know this question has been covered , but for 2017 ( really 2018 ) and given that crypto currencies have been out for a good number of years now , I am assuming that only a selected handful of the original Marketplaces/Exchanges of where you can trade the Cryptos are still around and are therefore Trusted and regulated

    Some of the ones I have heard about and have researched .......... Coinbase, Bittrex, Kraken, BitStamp, Poloniex, BitFinex and Coinigy

    What Exchanges/Websites are others currently trading off of and do you all recommend please ?

    Also ,
    I am looking for an Exchange/Platform that allows me to look at the various Crypto pairs on a Candlestick chart and with the Daily , Weekly and Monthly time-framed charts available :)

    Thanks so much for the help and advice

    None of them are regulated apart from genesis in ny state. This is the wild west. Buyer beware.

    The only third party platform is www.protrader.org which is currently limited to poloniex. Poloniex has been good but is a tether as opposed to USD exchange.

    Poloniex has the quickest pair viewer from the listed exchanges ( no need to login)
     
  6. They all suck. The 20% crash last week showed that their technology cannot cope with a stampede and will not let you get out of position*. I have to give credit to Bitfinex for handling the volumes the best. Five second lag is better than a minute lag or exchange going down, right?

    In addition to technological stability you'd also have to answer those questions:
    1) do you want an exchange with at least some regulatory oversight? (Bitstamp and Gemini, though GDAX is NYSE-backed if it means anything)
    2) do you trust a company that doesn't publish its audit results that their tether coins are in fact backed by usd (poloniex, bittrex, bitfinex use tether)?
    3) are you willing to participate in KYC gamble that your depo/withdrawal are frozen (bitfinex, kraken)**?

    Another point is that the wider the instrument choice, the fishier the exchange.

    * - market making in 300 usd spread looked attractive but for the fear exchange goes down any minute
    ** - doesn't mean it cannot happen elsewhere.

    I doubt you can plot candle stick chart based on volume but based on time from those exchanges.

    I will stick to CBOE and CME exchanges where I can plot candle stick chart based on volume.
