How to tag transactions as margin:

1. Enter the manual transactions for your trade or find the synced transactions to be tagged as margin. To tag, select the ellipsis option and select Tag transaction followed by the Margin tag.

Note: To avoid seeing negative balance errors, consider adding custom currencies to use on trades where you're shorting assets you don't own.

The tag will then appear on your transaction as a tag.

You can also remove the margin tag by navigating to thespecific transaction, selecting the ellipsis option, selecting the Tag transaction followed by Margin and finally the X prompt.

You can then enter a separate fiat transaction for the amount gained or lost.

To indicate a gain, create a manual transaction and enter the amount of the gain on the right side (incoming) of the transaction. Use the tagging feature to mark the transaction as a Margin Gain.

To indicate a loss, create a manual transaction and enter the amount of the loss on the left side (outgoing) of the transaction. Use the tagging feature to mark the transaction as a Margin Loss.

Correctly tagging your transaction ensures that gains and losses are included in the Net Futures Gains and Margin Fees on the tax center in CoinTracker.
