Bitcoin Forum

Hi all,

as you're growing your portfolio, and start using different wallets and exchanges, and take part in ICOs, what are some ways you guys are tracking your portfolio across all these platforms?

I've BTC/ETH in CB, BTC in Bittrex, ETH in MEW, 4 different ICOs, and the list goes on...

seems like as this grows, it's increasingly hard to keep track, which wallet I used for ETH for an ICO, or which exchange I used to purchase alt coins etc.. I think it could get pretty confusing pretty quickly!

Any good ideas out there?

Thanks!

Well I think you have two main options. Use a tracking system or portfolio tracker like blockfolio and have somebody know your every moves. Or alternatively you can do it manually have a few formulas and use an excel

spreadsheet. Both will get the job done only two things you need to consider is how much time you want to dedicate and privacy is present.

People use different kinds of trackers. It just depends on your personal preference. Try these out, then go for the one you prefer the most:

Blockfolio app: Android PlayStore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blockfolio.blockfolio&hl=en) | Apple iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blockfolio-bitcoin-and-altcoin-portfolio/id1095564685?mt=8)
AltPocket: https://altpocket.io
CoinTracking: https://cointracking.info
CryptoCompare: https://www.cryptocompare.com/portfolio/
CryptoFolio: https://cryptfolio.com

I am using CoinTracking as well
CryptoCompare. In my opinion these are two of the most sensible choices to take into account, but I think that it is up to you to decide for yourself. The taste is not discussed.

Thanks guys!

I’ve been trying blockfolio for awhile to see how it works but that’s more like a portfolio value tracker. While I do want to know once in awhile if my assets are ok, it doesn’t allow me to set up different coin destinations so when I purchase an alt/ico, i’d have to treat it as a sale/trade.

I’ll check the others, thanks!

Blockfolio i cool for on the go but I really hope they will soon have a web version as well. The app only shows % change of the last 24h and the profit of each coin is not visible in the overview.  :(

I keep everything off the exchanges unless I'm trading. If you keep coins in a wallet where you control the private keys, you don't have to keep checking it. I occasionally will check to make sure my coins are there, but mostly just let them sit.

When I'm trading, I try to only use one exchange at a time to keep things less confusing. I also try not to trade too many coins at the same time because it is a lot of work tracking everything.

I'm using Cryptocompare portfolio to track my investments. I'm happy with this service and can't say anything bad about them. But I'm rarely investing in ICO's, so I don't know is it possible to track ICO investments here.
By searching on Google I saw some people developped their own portofolio excel spreadsheets, connected with Coinmarketcap api. You can try, but I know which ones exactly works.
There are some more websites like Cointracking.info or Coins.live, but didn't tried these, so I can't say anything about them.

I use coin portfolio for android. I know,  its very simple and has not that much functions but for a quick overview its very useful.

I mainly use blockfolio for updates and have a general idea of how much of an investment I originally put in. I also keep some in bittrex and offline wallets so it can get confusing at times but just having a general sense of each investment makes life easier.

I use for track my portfollio blockfollio , you can download the suitable apps for you phone from here https://www.blockfolio.com it also in google play list: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blockfolio.blockfolio&hl=en

You don't have to store them in one exchange. Instead, like others have said, use a portfolio tracker. My favorite in Blockfolio. It has a great design and user interface. You can track in which exchange you store a particular altcoin and use that exchange price to measure that specific coin total value. It also has a nice built-in price graph history, alerts notification, and updated order book. A single great app for cryptocurrency trader.

I just installed Blockfolio and the first impression is okay. I'll test it for a few days. Are these apps safe? What is the probability that someone steals your data if you use one of these?

And here's the security issue, but this time it's worse -- it now has to do with your money...

I just did a bit of research on a few crypto portfolios companies online and I found that the BLOCKFOLIO App is snooping on its users, here' the article:

 (http://bitcoinerrorlog.com/2017/06/blockfolio-crypto-portfolio-app-is-snooping-on-users/)
And they are not the only one's doing this, I'm sure there are quite a few other companies doing this too!

I personally don't trust any of these companies to keep track of my money as there are too many eye balls and too many fingers in the pot. If any of the staff members don't like the amount of money you're making or don't like something else (for any reason) in your account then they could simply shutdown your account at any time and without prior warning, I don't like that.

Let me ask you a question; if you were making 30 million dollars per month in bitcoin or Monero, would you take that chance? Would you risk your wealth by placing it in the watchful hands of strangers or would you run your own secure server and install a personal portfolio software on there?

I don't personally make that kind of money per month , but it's a good habit to start so that when you do -- you'd be more prepared than most people.

Food for thought.  

As far as I know, you don't need to enter your personal data in Blockfolio for tracking your altcoins, just trade price, quantity and trade date. So there is nothing to steal.

Actually, you're right. Of course I didn't know that yesterday. Today, when I tested the application I saw the same and in general I like the app. It only confuses me the security issue from the post above. But I think that this should be a separate topic for some new threat and probably would be of interest to many on fotum.

Yes cryptocompare is a good choice :)

yeah I like blockfolio. Ill have to check these other options.

Thanks for sharing.  :)

I, generally, use google spreadsheet where i save all my data and that helped me a lot in the pas but with the data being bigger and bigger every day it became a little hard to track and sometimes i need to analyse those data and make some comparison and such thing is not possible without adequate softwares. After reading previous replies I will definitely try one of the solutions mentioned there.
Many informative replies here, thank you all for sharing  :D
 

I was looking so long for this, thanks a lot, now I can handle it easy.

Hello guys,

I'm quite new on this forum.
I'm using blockfolio for a while now and it's pretty good.
Just hopping they will add multi-portfolio feature soon (it's a bit complicated with only one portfolio when you have a lot of altcoins).

Be aware if you have large amount on portfolio's apps that sometimes some apps are making some API call that hackers can sniffed if the calls are not correctly protected.
It is a way for hackers for finding targets with a large amount of tokens.

There was a problem like this on blockfolio app but it has been corrected since (reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/6kbglm/blockfolio_security_warning))

One good trick is to divide all your token's number by 10 or 100 (depends how many tokens you have).
Like this you have a portfolio with small value and diminue the chances being targeting by hackers ;)

I haven't seen any mention of a template I think everyone could find useful

I just use cryptocompare.com. Great site and works like a sharm

I personally use CryptoCompare, but I think all of them are worth recommending. A friend of mine told me about AltPocket I also heard that he was going in the right direction, but for now he does not need a change. I'm happy with what I have.

I use Blockfolio for a month and I can say that I'm satisfied. A simple application that provides many additional useful information despite the fact that track my portfolio. Provides live information on price changes depending on the exchange that you can choose. Perhaps the most importantly, no ads and its free.

The most important thing is how much time you want to spend on it and whether you really care about privacy because even the easiest spreedshity will give you good control over what is going on.

I've currently use CryptoCompare witch works fairly well.  However, I've noticed that the prices it shows do not compare to CoinMarketCap. Plus it can be slow to load...

I will try the others on the list!

Plus I'm no good at excel so if anyone has an example spreadsheet to share that would be great!

Best of luck

I personally use https://altpocket.io/ (https://altpocket.io/) because it has good security with 2FA and you can import Bittrex and Poloniex API keys to automatically calculate your portfolio.  :)

I love using Blockfolio.  It has a great user interface, great diagrams and charts, easy to read, has a news section with customizable sources.  Love it.

Thanks for this! I've been looking for something like that spreadsheet template for a while now!

I used to keep an excel sheet, but now i just kinda remember everything. takes some getting used to and it gets difficult after you diversify into enough coins. Definitely not for everyone

I am personally not in favor of diversifying your crypto portfolio too much since you never know when your coin is going to betray you, moreover you need to keep checking their prices all the time for not missing any good opportunity of either grabbing them or selling them off. We should have limited coins in our portfolio for best management. Excel sheets are excellent for keeping tracks.

I also used excel sheet, but there you have to fill everything manually. In Altpocket.io you can import API from Bittrex or Poloniex and all prices are tracked automatically ;)

I Think Cryptocompare is the best alternative for you. This is safe and secure u can easy to track portfolio.

I'm using Blockfolio. That's why it's easier to see what's happening with the altcoins you hold and bitcoins. It's also easy to see how much money you have earned or your losses. You'll also see here how many percent each time altcoins raised, or even weeks. So Blockfolio works great for me because I'm no longer able to open my accounts with exchangers...

I am less trader and more investor and I have tried more than 5 options to track my portfolio but to be honest, crypto compare is my personal favourite. Even though tracking portfolio is free on Cryptocompare at this moment, they might make it subscription based when it will be out of BETA version so if you are looking for free options, there are some apps there to do the same thing for you. However, my recommendation is Cryptocompare.

i found this works well for just tracking my current holdings... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEsF5iRfS38

I've been using the Blockfolio for more than two months. The application is easy to use, free and without ads. I use it every day.
I am very pleased and I could hardly imagine my day without this application.

You can try our app for Automatic Portfolio tracking, for now, it supports only HitBTC but will add more: Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.tradebit.portfolio)
