When it comes to trading Bitcoin and altcoins, brand recognition doesn't tell the whole story. What separates a solid platform from the rest? Look for several key factors working together: competitive fee structures that don't eat into your profits, sufficient order book depth to handle volume without slippage, reliable execution speed when markets move fast, robust security infrastructure that actually protects your assets, and an interface that doesn't frustrate you every time you trade. These elements combined create an experience where you can focus on trading rather than fighting with the platform.

Low fees are fundamental, but slippage is the real killer. A little carelessness can lead to heavy losses.

The transaction fee part really leaves no room for negotiation. The slippage on small exchanges can make you bleed instantly.

To be honest, all that facade work of big exchanges is really useless; they take half of the profit in fees.

The fee structure really can determine everything. Slippage is the most annoying part; sometimes it's just a tiny bit away from liquidation.
