CoinTracker tracks your portfolio performance in real time, but discrepancies can occur between the values CoinTracker calculates and the actual values reported by your exchanges or wallets. The differences are key to understanding your portfolio and wallet values.
On the Portfolio and Wallet pages:
- Reported value: The value reported by your exchanges or wallets APIs.
- Calculated value: The value determined by CoinTracker based on transactions you’ve manually added or imported.
- Difference: The discrepancy between reported and calculated values, often due to missing or inaccurate transactions.
Portfolio page overview
On the Portfolio page, you’ll see a big-picture overview of your total portfolio:
- The chart shows the calculated value.
- The Portfolio value shows the reported value.
If these values differ, it may indicate missing or inaccurate transactions that need to be reviewed. To fix these issues, see this help article.
Note that calculated and reported values can naturally vary based on the data provided by the exchange.
Wallet page overview
On the Wallet page, you’ll see a breakdown of values at both the wallet and asset levels:
Wallet values
- Wallet reported value: The value directly retrieved from the synced wallet or exchange.
- Wallet calculated value: The total value based on all transactions imported into CoinTracker, including those from wallets, exchanges, CSVs, and manual entries.
Asset values
- Asset reported value: The total current holdings value for an individual asset, retrieved directly from the synced wallet or exchange.
- Asset calculated value: The sum of all transactions involving an asset, based on imported data.
Cause of value differences
A value difference occurs when the reported values from exchanges don’t match the calculated values in CoinTracker. These differences often point to missing, incorrect, or unsupported transactions that can impact your tax calculations. Common causes include:
- Assets with no transaction history: When the amount held increases but no transaction is recorded.
- Transaction edits: Manually added, edited, or ignored transactions.
- Sync issues: Problems with how we parse data from the provider during sync.
- Provider limitations or bugs: Some data providers, including EVM providers for Ethereum and similar blockchains, may not support all transaction types.
