Even litecoin founder Charlie Lee has suggested that we should move our funds to hardware wallet once trading is done. As it will keep our funds safe and secure. Friends I personally feel that our funds are not safe on exchanges and we should keep our funds on hardware wallet like trazor or ledger nano. We can also keep our funds in paper wallet.
