Reliability

When it comes to reliability of the company, the following metrics are used to judge this:

2. Security measures put in place to protect traders’ funds and altcoin holdings.
3. Transparency of trading process: do prices suddenly change without warning when trades are to be executed?

There is not much information about Bleutrade to work with in terms of these three metrics. However, a few review sites featuring the words of actual traders on Bleutrade seem to point at the following:
