Manual Importing Steps

Manual Importing Steps

Manual imports must be done one at a time, are great if you only have a few trades to enter, and the exchange you used is not supported.

To complete a manual import

1- Enter the date (1) the trade was made

2- Choose the exchange (2) the trade was made in. If the exchange is not listed in the drop down list, choose Other, and manually type in the name. 

3- Select if the trade was a BUY or SELL (3)

4- Choose the symbol (4) of the coin in the trade. If the symbol is not listed in the drop down list, choose Other, and manually type in the symbol.

5- Type in how many coins (5) where in the trade.

Note- You can either do steps 6 and 7, and skip step 8, or you can skip steps 6 and 7, and do step 8, but you do not need to do all three of them

6- Use the drop down arrow to choose the currency symbol (6), and enter the per coin price. For example if you bought 2 ETH for a total of 20 USD, you would choose the USD symbol and then 10, because 10 is the individual coin price. 

7- This is where you will enter the fee for the trade if there was one. Use the drop down arrow to choose the currency symbol (7) of the fee currency, and enter the total fee amount. For example if you paid a fee of 3 USD, you would enter 3 as the fee.

8- Use the drop down arrow to choose the currency symbol (8), and enter the total cost of the trade. For example if you bought 2 LTC for 20 USD, you would choose the USD symbol and enter 20.

9- You can enter a note (9) if you would like, but it is not required.

10- Finally click the Add button (10)
