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.

I'm not as far along as pescadorloco69 apparently, but it's on my list when I get closer...
When specifying the date ranges are they in UTC? If so, is there a way to specify a timezone when specifying the ranges? For example, a trade "after midnight" of the tax year (in local time) in question but "before midnight" in crypto (UTC) should not be included in that tax year. At least that's what I would expect.

@afterfiat
The timezone for the selected range refers to your selected timezone in the account settings.
Thus, it is not necessary to change it when setting the date range.

Got it thank you.
How would I deal with a coin swap say 100,00 Silk got Swapped to 100,000 Seq?
Would I enter a sale of silk and a buy of seq at the same price/day of swap?
Although i did not actually sell at which point and would make a gain but I did not get a gain at that time?
Many thanks

@pescadorloco69
Please have a look into our FAQ, there you are able to find detailed information about this question.
How you execute it, depends on the circumstances come along with the swap.

Hey pescadorloco69,

There's a [custom date range] link below the year drop down field.
You can set a custom start and end date there.
- Ensure you have checked the "Check to use the custom period" checkbox
- And use this date format "dd.mm.yyyy"

Using this setting, only sales within your custom time period will be calculated.

It will still use purchases before the start date to calculate your gains, but that's what you usually want to do.
If not, please disable this checkbox "Consider all previous trades in report".

I have been trying to account for my trades on a spreadsheet and it has been a right headache.

I just discovered coin tracker and created an account and imported some sample data and I have had a play and it seems that cointracker is going to make my life a lot easier to establish my profits and loss for taxation.

I am based in the UK and the tax year is 6th April to 5th April following year.

When I tried the specific date range for the report it defaulted to the January to Dec year?

Are there any plans for this to be fixed or did I do something wrong?

Really keen to pay for pro version and import my full trade data from polo and trex but would need this fixed for it to be usable for my purpose.

Another thing: do you think in the future will be possibile to create multiple portfolios on the same profile? Because, for example, I convinced my sister to invest a few euros in cryptocurrencies instead buying another expensive bag, but of course she has no clue how to set up her profile on CoinTracking etc, and I don't want to mix her currencies with mine because would bring confusion of course

Hi @Ale88,

It is already possible to manage multiple portfolios by linking accounts together.
You can link them together with a Key and switch between them with just one click from your Dashboard.
All of them will be upgraded to your current membership status.

More information can be found in the Settings under 'Join multiple accounts'.

I guess this is exactly what you are searching for.

I hope it helps.

Can you please explain this a little more? Either its not working correctly or I am doing it all wrong. When i go back to edit mining entries and I change the asset balance to 0 it goes back and pulls the historical value.

I'm a little new to the platform and have all my entries uploading via API. What or where is the "filter menu" for this update?

Thank you!

Hey @Bi0ha2ard187,

please go to the "Un/Realized Gains" page and have a look at the settings in the second row.

The last dropdown setting is the "Filter". If you open it, you are able to in/exclude data for the calculation, by checking and unchecking entries.
Also you are able to set transaction types to "half checked", if you do so, the cost basis for this type is set to zero.
You just need to do this for the type "Mining". This should solve your problem. Please give it a try.

Best regards,
Keven

About the fee field, is not possibile to put a % instead of a fiat value? Because I tried but looks like it doesn't accepts the % symbol, only number, so that means I should calculate myself every single fee, no?

Hey, no currently only values are accepted (but it does not have to be fiat).
I will put that on my to do list.

But it's a good point and I'm already working on a solution to calculate mined assets with a 0 cost basis.
It will be released very soon (maybe even today).

Released

You can now use the "Filter menu" to set a cost basis of 0 to all minings (and other transaction types).

Can you please explain this a little more? Either its not working correctly or I am doing it all wrong. When i go back to edit mining entries and I change the asset balance to 0 it goes back and pulls the historical value.
