One trader.
Zero corporate bias.
RonOnCrypto started from frustration. After FTX collapsed in 2022, I realized almost every "top exchange" list was sponsored. I wanted a source I'd actually trust — so I built it.

The mission is simple
Crypto derivatives are complex, high-risk, and increasingly dominated by platforms with opaque fee structures and dubious safety records. Most review sites rank exchanges based on affiliate commission size, not actual trading quality.
RonOnCrypto exists to give traders the information they actually need: objective fee comparisons, real liquidity assessments, honest security evaluations, and trading guides built on real experience — not theory.
If a review on this site earns an affiliate commission, it's clearly disclosed. The commission never influences the score. Several highly-paying affiliate programs receive low scores on this site because that's what the data shows.
No Paid Rankings
Exchange positions in our rankings are never for sale. Scores are calculated from objective criteria — not sponsorship deals.
Real Money Testing
Every exchange reviewed on this site has been funded with real capital. We don't write about platforms we haven't personally traded on.
Full Transparency
We disclose all affiliate relationships. If we earn a commission from an exchange, it's clearly labeled — and it never affects our scores.
Regularly Updated
Exchange conditions change fast. We update reviews when fee structures, features, or regulatory status changes — not just once a year.
How we got here
Started Trading Crypto Derivatives
Discovered BitMEX during the bear market and lost money learning the hard way. Built the discipline that would shape everything after.
Went Full-Time in Derivatives
Shifted from spot to perpetuals and options exclusively. Started documenting experiences across different exchanges in private notes.
Published the First Review
After FTX collapsed, trusted information about exchange safety became scarce. Published the first public exchange review to help traders navigate safely.
Site Reached 100K Monthly Readers
Organic growth through honest reviews and no-fluff analysis. No paid promotion — just useful content that traders actually reference.

RonOnCrypto has become the reference site for crypto derivatives traders looking for unbiased exchange analysis and trading education.
I lost thousands before I built the only indicator I'll ever need
My first year trading was a masterclass in what not to do. I stacked 6 indicators on top of each other, convinced that more data meant more edge. Every new indicator added a new conflict. I was paralyzed when I needed to act, and impulsive when I should have waited.
The turning point: I sat down, closed every chart, and asked — what actually tells me what I need to know? The answer was two things: RSI for momentum direction and strength, and a Baseline moving average for trend position and stop-loss anchoring.
Version 15 is the result of 6 years of testing, losing, learning, and rebuilding. Every parameter has a reason. Every rule was born from a mistake that cost real money.
