I’ve been interested in cryptocurrencies and forex market for a while and earlier I thought that these are two different things. I mean, you have to trade cryptocurrencies on cryptocurrencies exchanges and open forex deals on the specialized platforms accordingly. However, I notice all the time that forex brokers also offer crypto assets for trading, mostly bitcoins, but sometimes also popular altcoins. For example, Olymp Trade has around a dozen such crypto assets available on the platform.
So, I started to learn this question, where the most profitable cryptocurrencies trading is, i mean exactly the trading (in long-term it’s more profitable to purchase coins on crypto exchanges).
It turns out to be that on Olymp Trade the trader pays off the commission for the deal. While the crypto exchange take the commission and the spread (If you open and close the deals at the market price, then the spread is very palpable). Additionally, the commission for the deposit-withdrawal is higher on the crypto exchanges.
Well, what I see so far, that platforms like Olymp Trade are more profitable in compare with crypto exchanges. Did anyone else evaluate this question? Maybe, there are some factors I lost?
