Bitcoin Forum

I have just started trading and was looking for some platform to keep track of my trades to see if I made profits or losses in the long run.
There are some portfolio managers, but they just track the different crypto coins and their current prices.

Is there any such tool or just google sheets that you are aware of that might be of help to me?

What's the need of going for a separate website to record all your trade summaries. The exchange on which you perform the buying and selling itself gives you a detailed information on the trade history. One can keep track of this history and calculate whether this has got any profit or caused loss.

Google sheets can be made according to your necessity. I haven't come across any Google sheets that are created to enroll the trade entries for an overall profit and loss calculation.

CoinTracking.info has a product like this. The free version is limited to 200 trades and you need to manually import data using CSV exports from exchanges. The paid versions have much higher limits and can interact directly with exchange APIs to automate everything for you.

I haven't tried it, but the Pro version (0.015 BTC per year) is somewhat tempting for my trading volumes. I've been doing everything manually in Excel for years and it's a bit time-consuming.

Bitcoin.Tax is another service which should be able to do the same thing. https://bitcoin.tax/

Don't know if there's an automated tool but I have my own way back then:

1) Check the trade history.

2) List it on a spreadsheet or excel.

3) Your columns should have; date, initial capital, profit, loss, changes (either 24h, 1w, etc) and just include what data you want. Study the formulas for easy encoding or you can just do the computation manually.

I have my own spreadsheet back then but I forgot where I stored it. It might be a good reference for you on how to make a simple tracker from scratch.

If you trade on a decent exchange like Binance, Bittrex, Poloniex, or actually I believe all exchanges should have this featured called "trade history." From there alone you should be able to see your total buys, total sells and even trading fess all of which are enough to compute anything you would want to track.

However, if you really want to do it outside, I'd suggest taking at the "Delta" portfolio app.

One of the sites I use to track my trades on Bitmex with is Coinmarketman (https://www.coinmarketman.com/). Nice, easy to use interface, and there's a nice chart on the main page once you login to see how you're doing over time as well as PnL of your trades and almost everything you can think of as far as analysis. Pretty sure the site supports a bunch of other exchanges as well, but I found out about the site when I was looking for something to keep track of Bitmex trades and that's what I'll keep using it for.

Though I haven't tried this service from any websites, but I read some positive reviews about the Sigma tool from HydraX project and the Cointracking website! You may have a look at them. Personally, I don't like these services, as I only trade in Binance, Coinbase, and Gateio exchanges, so, I track my orders by own self, which is safe and convenient.

I usually use the following to track my trades
- 3commas.io (available both inform of mobile app and website
- Bituniverse app
- Delta crypto portfolio app
- Tabtrader

All you have to do is import your API key from the exchange you are carrying out your trades. Makes sure you disable permissions such as ability to withdraw funds to be safe. The platforms are trustworthy but to be on the safe side make sure disable permissions that can lead to lose of funds such as withdrawal permission.

Also make sure you download the apps from official websites

I just do this manually, not do any automatic tools or from different sites, I trade on different exchanges such as Binance, Huobi, Kucoin, and Bittrex. I do a profit or loss check. I always check once a month.
See my trade in the history message in 1 month
Then move it to the Google sheet and check how many results of my trade for 1 month.

I prefer to do it myself compared to using other tools.

Blockfolio is my favourite crypto assets tracker because i love the user interface and it really fast running on my android low specs phone.
It provide many coins even tokens from so many exchanges and the price is also up to date.
This apps is also has news tab which we can read the up to date news about crypto that can raise our fundamental analysis in trade

it is gonna be a tough job to do it manually haha

i find it interesting a service that exstasie mentioned here

unfortunately the paid version seems not really pocket-friendly , still yeah you can give it a try on the free version.
let's see what this tool can do, anyway i can see that cointracking service has been here for long enough , see it here the official announcement https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=220238

there is a lot of good review over there though.

There are many options but you can use CoinTracking, it is the best tool I've come across for my portfolio needs because it's very easy to use and the organization settings it brings to the users allow them to manage their portfolio properly and see the trends perfectly. they also show a wide range of reports like average buying price of a coin, percentage up/down and many others. They also provide reports for Tax preparation. the best thing about them? Their software is 100% working and free to use, making it a good experience all in all, and their premium service is relatively very cheap and a must take for any crypto investor.

I have been using TabTrader for like almost two years, I don't really remember the exact. It helps me to keep track my trade and position but sometimes the notifications are just too late on my phone. I don't know why.

I'm sure there are some similar platforms too, you should easily find them on google and it would save a lot of your time than to wait people's answer here.

In order to become more disciplined and understand your trades better I recommend logging all your trades using Microsoft excel or online similar programs like google sheets. There are some trading aggregators in the markets from where you can trade on multiple exchanges basically from the same interface, but I don't think you're looking for that. Maybe you might want to check edgewonk, but it is a more complex trading log.

Try to do it manually and in my opinion it is simple to use Microsoft excel in every trade you can change it every time you make a profit. But I don't know of an automatic tool about that, obviously many people suggest that.

You can download the Blockfolio and the Delta app,
Because you can easily see its realtime price every minute and seconds, So you can find out every movement of your coin even when it is on different exchanges. They also show your profit or loss on every trade so it's really conviniet and you don't even have to go to the exchange sites to check.

There isn't any such app so far but I suggest you do it manually it's not that difficult. You can use any spreadsheet software like excel or google sheets and create your own customized software. Just jot down every important thing relating to that trade just after you have made the trade. This would not only allow you to get a better understanding of the mistake you did but you will also remember the mistake and probably would never do it again. Also I think for such an automated software to be there you will have to give the bot access to your trading account which could be highly risky. Manually using google sheets or maybe even a diary is great.

I don’t trust free automated services for tracking trade orders, but I do create my own spreadsheets and list it from there. Create a simple equation in MS Excel and just post your trades there, making it as accurate as possible without the possibility of your trade info being leaked into the open. There are some portfolio managers but they don’t list individual trades, just the sum total of your coins and where are they invested on currently etc.

You have a point but instead of listing in your spreadsheet why not you used tracker platform and wasting time. I used an app like Blockfolio when tracking my portfolio and also you can choose which exchange you are going to trade. Also in trading, I used Comma automated trading bot tools. Less hassle for the price update and you can set where is your buying point and selling point.

What exchanges are you using? Most exchanges have a built in system for this. If you go under your account information, you should be able to find a list of all of the orders you have ever placed in there somewhere. I've been able to go back and see orders from a few years ago on a few different exchanges. This is really all I ever use. You'll be able to see what price you bought the coin at and what price you sold it at.

It is best to do a Google search for all possible options and then you can ask the members of the forum about the evaluation of the platform that you have chosen.
These are my favorite options:

 - Gem >> https://gem.co/: Free, there are all coins/fiat, easy interface, requires the creation of one account and synchronization between accounts, linking API and other things.
 - blockfolio>> https://blockfolio.com/: A well-known application, one of the best mobile tracking software, the only drawback is that you need to add platforms manually.
 - cointracking>> https://cointracking.info/: Tax feature.

Using a separate platform to track all your trades is an additional hassle which is unnecessary. If you are just starting to trade then you probably are using only an exchange platform or two, and are trading a handful of pairs. I guess it is not hard to monitor your trades from the platforms themselves because they are limited in numbers as you are just starting. If you prefer, a google sheet is enough. 

It's really important, as we are too busy to know all what we have made during the day, so, I keep tract with my trading too using google sheet, with this I can be able to modify  it anytime, and I can check from time to time when I am at  home, but when I am out and I do plot trading for today, then, I used tab trader.

Whether you are new in trading or you are expert, it is always important to tract your trades, in any form of tracking you may do it at your preference, what matters is that you are using some of it, so you can monitor well.

I'd like to suggest that you take a look at bookwerx. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197686.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197686.0)

The foundation of any financial analysis starts with proper bookkeeping of the underlying transactions. There is a tried-n-true method literally a mere few centuries old, called double-entry bookkeeping (the debits and credits thingy) that does this. The various crypto sites that I've ever seen apparently view bookkeeping as a nuisance that distracts them from their primary goal.  So whatever balance inquiry/transaction history/financial analyses features they offer are at best random fragments of information.

With bookwerx you can define the currencies and accounts that you use and then enter transactions using the double-entry bookkeeping system.  The advantage of doing this is that said model just happens to align well with the reality of recording financial transactions.  If you study this, you will find that you can record the information about accounts that you need, and then later retrieve useful information such as balances, profits-n-losses, and transaction history.

As a learning exercise I encourage you to try this with spreadsheets and/or home-grown methods.  You'll quickly discover that there are some nettle-some issues in this seemingly simple task that will quickly choke lesser methods.

Another common woe with any crypto market that I've ever seen is their confusion with round-off error.  Sure, price x quantity will frequently give us some round-off error initially.  But once the actual amounts are determined, we want to accurately record all of these f**kin decimal places.  We later want to see all of this in any subsequent reporting.  Even if we want to view fewer decimal places in the UI, we still want some indication that hidden details exist, but are merely suppressed at the moment.  Bookwerx eats this for breakfast.

Bookwerx is implemented as a Restful API.  You GET, POST, PUT, 'n' DELETE what you need to in order to CRUD all the objet d'bookkeeping that are relevant for your use, as well as to extract balance and profit-n-loss info from the resulting collection of information.

Although the API is a great way for your automated processes to interface with bookkwerx, it's not good for human beans.  So bookwerx also includes an example UI at http://23.253.160.60/ (http://23.253.160.60/), that uses the API to do the dirty work.

Good luck with your search for solutions and I encourage you to give bookkwerx a consideration.
