Hi All,
I wanted to know if someone here is trading crypto. If so, do you prefer trading with a forex broker or directly with the exchange? I'm not too sure which route to go. I think trading with my broker is much simpler than going to the exchanges but is more likely pricier. What do you think?

Looks like they finally added a new room for crypto threads, awesome!
Yes I trade cryptos and forex a fair bit. I don't think there is a correct answer tbh as we all have different preferences, requirements, etc. MT4 is the easiest, simple straight forward for sure. Exchanges will give you more coins available (which is not always a good thing having so much choice). Best to experiment and see what you like

Personally I prefer to use brokers for day and intraday trading, but for HODLing and for the smaller coins, then I go for the exchanges.

Don't you think that crypto is a useless investment right now?
I have been trading on my account for 5 years and crypto was really popular at the beginning of my trading path. Remember the days when my friend bought some bitcoins for 1$ and lost the computer at the moment when bitcoin became 200 times expensive. Right now we have way more cryptocurrencies, so the bulk of the benefit from them is open only for the chosen ones. By saying the chosen ones, I mean that people who are at the top of the food chain of trading crypto. Just my assumption.🙃

I prefer crypto exchanges. There are many advantages when you use exchanges compared to forex brokers.
1. Trading costs are fixed and way smaller than forex brokers. For instance, the current fee for trading BTCBUSD future contract on Binance is 0.0170% for takes and -0.0100% (you receive the fee) for makers.
2. A big problem with forex brokers is the spread which is increased during high volatility. In the case of crypto exchanges, the spread is almost inexistent.
3. Crypto exchanges have way more altcoins and products like options, volatility indices, stocks indices and some give you the options to participate in the early stage of crypto through launchpads.
If you are interested in crypto exchanges here are the most popular exchanges: Binance, FTX and Bybit

May be but:
1. There`s even 0 commission brokers.
2. Judging my own experience with my broker i didn`t have such increased spreads even during the high volatility.
3. I also have a fair big variety for crypto pairs.
And as point 4 i can add the hacker attacks against the crypto exchanges. Sadly but some day you can lose all your funds there.

"0 commission" it's just for marketing. You pay higher spreads or higher overnight interest. There is no free lunch.
There are also regulated exchanges like Coinbase or Kraken but they are more expensive. There is no free lunch.
