Never store long term on an exchange. Is it convenient? yes, especially with all the forks and whatnot. But under no circumstances would I ever leave on an exchange. Lots of new people here dont remember what it was like to lose money on Mt Gox, or even BTC-E, so I say it again, DO NOT STORE YOUR MONEY ON AN EXCHANGE. Buy a hardware wallet, learn how to use it, and keep it in a safe place. I suggest Ledgers Nano S, and right now they even have a deal for 21% off because of Black Friday. Check it out.
