Hi Dario, do you plan to add alerts feature? Or did I miss it somewhere in UI?
I already had this feature a few years ago, but I have disabled it again since many coin (especially the small ones) have an extreme price change in a short time and it has sent too many mails Smiley
But I will try to add a price alert within the website and app soon.
Best, Dario
Oh don't send emails, just put some indicator (like red/green background) in some report, so it will be clear when to make a trade. Maybe in Current Balance or (Un)realized Gains. This way I'll analyze chart once in a week, set alerts for all coins and then just check report for indicators. That would be awesome.

Hi, today my Blockcat coins are showing up as Catcoin. I had previously entered them as CAT2 and all was working fine. All of a sudden today they show as Catcoin with associated prices. Tried editing transactions but no avail. Any ideas?

Thanks, Stephen
Sorry, seems like there was a problem with the duplicate "CAT" ticker.
It's fixed now.
CAT = Catcoin
CAT2 = Blockcat

Wow, that was quick, thanks!

CoinTracking - Crypto Portfolio & Tax Management
Does your company report USA users financial info yearly to the IRS?
You mean if we report your data automatically to the IRS?
No, we do not send any user data to the IRS or any other tax authority.
We do not even know your name or address and we don't require your email address on CoinTracking.
If you want to report your gains to the IRS, you will have to do it yourself.

@Sniper243:
The Polo CSV does not contain your deposits and withdrawals.
That's probably the reason why your balance is off.
You will need to add them manually or use the Polo API import on CoinTracking which can handle deposits and withdrawals.

Great tool!

I am wondering if the tax export function can export TXF format?  Apparently this is the only format you can import into Turbotax...

Yes it does Smiley
Just open your Tax report and click on TurboTax Download.
It will export all your data as TXF.

Best,
Dario

I was wondering about this too - the exported excel sheet from the exchange contains all prices (if some coin was traded for USD), so I'm not sure why some averaged coin price across multiple exchanges is used rather than the price in the spreadsheet.

If some coins were traded for USD, CoinTracking will use the USD price for the calculations.
But if a coin was traded for another coin, we need to calculate the value based on average historical prices.

Each exchange has it's own prices and there is no global price for coins like for fiat currencies.
That's why we use a weighted average.
But I will work on adding additional prices for different exchanges.

You really should use the price of the coin based on the exchange in which it was traded and not some averaged historical coin price.  Or are you saying this only pertains to manual entries and not imported entries?

Hey @jt42,

thanks for your response on this.

Yes, maybe we will add the ability to switch between price sources for Coins one day.
Currently this is possible for BTC only. You can find it in your Account Settings.

This would be a major feature to do it for all exchanges and Cryptocurrencies and it takes much time and effort to realize it.
That´s why, for now, we´ve added the ability to set your own trade prices at the time of transaction.

Most of the time the data is accurate and there are only a few cases, where you need to edit the data.

Best regards,
Keven
I've had the opposite experience - for me, the data is nearly always incorrect, and I'm required to always go in and edit the values right after importing.

Hi,

New to Cointracking and absolutely love it so far. Assuming all goes will with my investments I'll be purchasing a license soon.

Had a quick question regarding the 'Trade Value' menu when editing a transaction. How is the purchase value and sale value calculated? Where are these from? I've noticed pretty strange numbers, and pretty big differences between the two (for example, selling some NEO for USDT shows a purchase value of $630 and a sale value of $690). This causes the realized gain to be a loss of $40-50 for example, whereas in reality (looking at my exchange) it was a profit of ~$20 as the NEO was sold for $692.

I've looked at many of my other coins on the Trade Prices page, and it shows losses for a bunch, whereas I know they were gains. Even selling 1 ETH for USD shows the incorrect prices. Is there any easier way to fix this rather than keeping track of the USD purchase/sell price for each transaction, and entering it in manually after the fact?

Thanks!

Hey,

You can set these values on the Enter Coins page when entering or editing your entries.
If you do not set them, CoinTracking will calculate the value automatically based on historical coin prices from coinmarketcap, worldcoinindex, cryptococoincharts and some more.

Each exchange has different prices, and the exchange price may not be the average price we use.
I would recommend to change the values if the spread is too high.

Best,
Dario

This is for imported entries, not manual entries.

I was wondering about this too - the exported excel sheet from the exchange contains all prices (if some coin was traded for USD), so I'm not sure why some averaged coin price across multiple exchanges is used rather than the price in the spreadsheet. I do quite a bit of daytrading with not very volatile altcoins, so this averaged price is usually never correct.
