That's the comment I expected to find. I was thinking the same thing too. Yes, while we rejoice with OP for his luck in recovering what seemed to have been lost; we should also say the bitter truth. There are certain mistakes veteran members shouldn't be making, for instance something like this. It's a newbie error. As a trader, I also leave funds on exchanges but it's not something much that can cause panic for me if lost. I know there are risks to that and I've braced up for it but I need to trade and I can't be sending and removing funds every now and then. However I just split funds I trade in top exchanges, not in one.
