Trading platform is real alterntive alternative to crypto-exchanges for people with big bank. Crypto-exchanges are more popular because of "a small threshold for entry". And x100 leverage can help to earn huge amount of money.
Yes, I agree, but I don't have too much experience and knowledge to work with trading platforms. Can I work with last $10k? I think no (90% of people on bitcointalk - too), so my strategy is to use platform only in 2019 or from 2020 then my bank will be in 10-20 times bigger and I'll be ready to risk to earn much more.
