so, for example, i buy some BTC from a site that adds a premium to the cost.  the 'list' price is $4000 but i pay $4050.  technically, my cost basis is $4050, but according to the data you pull from, it should be $4000?  so i can go in and edit the values to correctly reflect what i actually paid?

i don't know if it's correct, but i had read one could use the 'daily avg' price as a cost basis (as long as you use the same method ALL the time).  this seems like it would be a lot easier since the price changes so much, and would smooth out pricing inconsistencies.

thanks Dario.  getting closer.  i found i can use the 'transaction history' cvs as long as i specify it at the time of import.  didn't notice that before.  the report you suggested worked as well.

after i imported, my LTC cost per unit is correct, but my BTC cost is not.  never mind on that, i just noticed why... it is taking into account the fee.

my manually entered deposits in USD aren't showing up correctly.  never mind again, one of my imports put in a 'withdraw' along w/ the 'trade' so it deducted the USD 2x.

but i still do not quite understand the the 'trade value' and 'edit asset value' lines in the manual coin entry/edit portion.

thanks for getting back to me Dario.

i go to 'enter coins', 'exchange imports', 'coinbase', i generated the reports at coinbase, but it doesn't seem to like them.  the 'import report' says there are no trades, but viewing the file, i see trades listed.

i see in the FAQ it says not to open and save CSV w/ excel because it could cause errors.  i saved them direct, and did open to look at, but never resaved, but one time it did tell me there was no valid time/date info...so maybe my CSV's got goofed up.

i tried to import csv files instead of manually entering my info to see if it changes my other input issues, but it doesn't seem to work.  i drag the csv into the box, 'continue to import',  next page has import report, says there 7 data sets but 0 trades.  i can see trades in the csv file, so maybe the format is somehow not correct?

brand new member on this forum...cpl questions:

1.  is there a way to search inside a thread?  i can't see an option to do so, would save me from having to ask questions that have already been answered.

2.  on cointracking.info, if i make a trade for $100, and there was a trading fee of $1, i enter all that in, but it doesn't 'do' anything w/ the $1 trade fee.  it doesn't seem to use it in the cost basis of the purchase and it doesn't take it out of my USD amount left over.  what am i doing wrong?

3.  if i have received free BTC, how do i add that in to accurately reflect my BTC total and my cost basis?  let's say i received .002 BTC for free (let's call it $10).  if i put it in as a $10 buy, it subtracts $10 from my USD amount.  if i leave the purchase amount blank, it doesn't seem to accurately show my cost basis.

hope this is all clear and somebody can assist me.

thanks!
