Trading on DEX vs CEX?

Trading on DEX vs CEX?

Hi guys, a female asian trader here, trading during asian hours. I've been trading full time in the last 6-8mths, luckily I am a bit more bullish in nature so managed to cover previous losses and registering good profits in the past 2 mths.
I have been thinking about "Not your keys, not your money" so hoping to move to onchain trading instead of depending on CEX and rugs.
Was trading on FTX and yes, all my money was gone (thank you SBF and Caroline!). Move to
1. Binance
2. OKX
3. Crypto.com
most of the time I am doing most trades on binance now.
I am currently keen in moving trades to on-chain, using DEXes, I only tried a few times so hoping more experienced traders can share with me your experience in DEX and the good and bad things? here are the DEXes that I am aware of
1. DYDX (Cosmo). biggest so far, lots of liquidity. however i read online that it is not fully onchain so there is still an issue of being rugged
2. GMX.io (arbitrum) 2nd biggest. love the fast and cheap fees. this is full onchain and audited. but liquidity is always taken up? not sure bull market or what. a bit annoying when i want to trade big but liquidity taken up fast. i using a 5% discount link, let me know if u have 10% or 15% discount link
3. MUX (arbitrum)- have not tried it, read online its an aggregator that directs your trade to the lowest fee available for perps
4. Level (BNBChain) - have not tried it.
5. Vertex Protocol (Arbitrum) - tried it to go for their TGE. however, the depositing of assets to change to USDC for trades confuses me at times.
6. Pika - have not tried it too
7. Gains (Arbitrum)- have not tried it as at first I thought it was forex, but learnt that crypto assets traded here too
8. SNX- have not tried it
Anyone has feedbacks on using onchain perps, the fees, the liquidity, the accuracy of pricing, the absence of scamwicks and stop loss hunting etc.
Thank you for sharing!
