Sorry for not explaining myself that thorough. I've bought a bunch of bitcoins at different prices in a span of i dunno.... about 2 years and I've lost track if i'm in the black or the red.... So in essence what I'm asking is if there is a program where i can take all of my bitcoin buys and sells and it could tell me if i'm ahead or if i'm down in profits.... I feel so stupid because I lost track and everything :;sighs::

Yes. It's called a "spreadsheet"

I believe you can find details (buy/sell date, amount, and price) of all your past trades in your Coinbase account.
You can use Excel to calculate your profits from all those trades.

Since the price of Bitcoin price changes constantly, then any program which would fulfill that function would still require the user to input the exact price at which he/she traded Bitcoins for. There is also no way of automating such a process without giving a program unfiltered access to every single one of the user's exchange accounts, assuming that the user doesn't engage in any trades outside of exchanges. The good news is that you can easily emulate this capability in almost any spreadsheet software. Come to think of it, a spreadsheet software is exactly the program that you are thinking of.

Maybe he wants to know how much he lost or won in bitcoins. This is doable using the right APIs, I think, but I have no experience with that. Also will need to desconsider transactions going out or in the owned addresses.

why don you just record it all in a excel file and make your own formula, to make a program to do all that will cost alot and probably take time to make as you have to set the objective of the program

Edit never mind I see someone had mention software spreadsheet program which is what I also had mentioned

Thats kind of difficult, how will the program will know if one transaction is a buy or not? And how it will know at what price was bitcoin in thaf time (this can be done with a bitcoin price history chart but anyway is difficult)
The best way is to get a general view, how many dis you buy at 100 usd and how many did you buy after last bubble.

You can view the amount of money sent to your address, the amount of money that has left your address, and the amount of money remaining in your address at blockchain.info.

I don't think you can find this kind of program.If you store your bitcoins on a place like coinbase I don't think you'll have problems with checking your balance.On the other side,wherever you store them you'll have the ability to look at the transactions so I suspect there's no need to look for such a program.

What exactly do you want?

A program that check a list of given addresses, then sum their balances and stores it, and do it from time to time? And at any time you can check your balance history?

I've never used Coinbase, so sorry if I'm missing something.

I'm just curious if there's a program where you can import like I use coinbase I have so many transactions I literally lost count how much I'm up or down it's embarrassing! Did they make a program to import from say coinbase into something so it can tell you how much up or down you are with your bitcoins? any help would be appreciated THANKS!
