I always use private keys every time I create a wallet in MEW and MyCrypto, last week I create a wallet using Mnemonic and I pick one wallet there, I transfer some tokens there, unfortunately, every time I log in I cannot trace my address, there are a lot of address there but none of them is my address.
Is there a way to trace my adress.

Every address you are displayed to be able to interact with are your addresses. Mnemonic from MEW is linked to a multiple private keys hence address.
The Mnemonic phrase would be associated with a number of address and the Mnemonic acts as a private key to all of them.
So, you can use and access any of those address.

When I created a new wallet (for a test) recently on MEW, I just select the first address. Everytime I access the wallet, that address shows up in the 1st place. The position of the addresses remains, so I am not having a hard time.

If you selected an address on the next pages, then you need to look for it. I suggest that you use MyCrypto app when accessing the wallet using Mnemonic phrase, it's easier to check the addresses there (you'll see the address number/position, complete addresses clearly, Eth and token balances).

This is how it looks in MEW:

while on MyCrypto App:

Just use what you think is best for you. And if ever you still can't find your address, contact MEW team or MyCrypto team for assistance (much better if from where you created the wallet)

I am not familiar with Mycrypto but if you created the wallet on MEW, then just do the following steps to access the wallet you previously picked:

Step 1: Log in to to MEW using your mnemonic phrase

Step 2: Look for address and click "switch"

Step 3: Enter you mnemonic phase again and after that, you should be able to see multiple addresses again.

Step 4: Pick the address you previously used, accept the terms, then click access.

Let me know if that helps.

No the point is I cannot trace the address I used the right Mnemonic but the set of address that are showing are not on those lists I even reach 250 pages but the address is not there

That shouldn't happen. I don't know mate but it's either you entered a mnemonic for a different set of addresses or you simply used a different wallet. How many mnemonic phrase do you have?

Your issue cant be verified if you aren't staright with your words, you said you pick one wallet there, did you create mutiple eth address?from which wallet did you create the first mnemonic seed? are you trying to import to another wallet? pls be more clear

This is the first time I use a Mnemonic access and when I created it I pick the first wallet that's the only wallet address I pick from that Mnemonic access, I'm still at lost how can I trace that address, so many addresses here,  it's like I'm forever searching that wallet

Maybe you need to first provide us with the link to the platform where you created this wallet from. The Mnemonic should only act as the private key to access your wallet. Can you share a screenshot?

Show us the pictures. I've read most of the replies and I think it's kind of confusing on your side. The replies were on point and correct which is exactly my reply if ever I'm the first one to reply on your question.
Provide us some pictures so that we can validate if it doesn't really show and you can't see the address you had for that mnemonic phrase of yours.
PS: Don't give your phrases to anyone here

If you picked the first address when you created the wallet, it will show in the first spot still when you access it (like what I said above (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5186691.msg52528025#msg52528025)). Are you sure that you have the correct phrase? and the correct order?

Can you log in using your mnemonic? if you can and why you are doing it right now? It looks like you have created a wallet through use mnemonic but you have not stored or copied your address that you have generated it from your mnemonic right?
Why don't you just try to remember what token that you have sent to that wallet and then try to trace it based on how many tokens you have sent to your mnemonic wallet?

I think I really lose that wallet, I send a ticket to MyCrypto support and they also said the same thing check the derivation path, and if you picked wallet in the first order it will always comes out, unfortunately it's not happening, this is thr last time I'm going to use Mnemonic and will just use private from now on when creating a new wallet.

You probably have entered a wrong word or your derivation path is different. You could use this tool https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39 to test for different derivation path, Make sure you use it offline. I hope you didn't lose a lot.

Hope the guy is not a newbie, its not easy to use iancoleman at all, he can easily get lost, for someone who don't know how to rip off private keys for each address they create i bet it will be hard but nit impossible, you could have drop link for iancoleman tutorial
