Default Re: Could you suggest me...?

If you "trade" something, it implies there is a profit of some kind.

"He trades shares on the Stock Exchange"
"The trade in shoes is excellent"
"I'll trade you this paperclip for that pencil"

If you "exchange" something, you are transferring [two] things without profit.

"They exchanged presents at Christmas time"
"We can exchange that dress if it does not fit you"
"I'll exchange this pencil for that biro"
