Track cryptocurrency alongside your other investments — add a crypto holding and record trades.

Track cryptocurrency alongside your other investments — add a crypto holding and record trades.

Add A Crypto Holding

  1. Start adding a holding and choose Cryptocurrency.

  2. In Search cryptocurrency..., type a coin name or ticker (at least two characters).

  3. Tap the coin to go straight to the Add Trade form. The holding isn't created yet — it's created together with this first trade only when you save. Backing out without saving leaves nothing behind.

Add or Edit A Crypto Trade

From a crypto holding, tap Buy or Sell at the bottom, or tap an existing trade to edit. Fields:

  1. Trade TypeBuy, Sell, Trade, Transfer In or Transfer Out.

  2. Date — the trade date (can't be in the future).

  3. Quantity — how many coins (required, greater than zero).

  4. Price — price per coin. Shown for Buy, Sell and Trade only. Tap the Closing chip to fill the market price for that date where available.

  5. Fee(optional) — any transaction fee.

  6. Exchange(optional) — the exchange/source, or None.

  7. Notes(optional).

For Buy, Sell and Trade, a running Total (quantity × price + fee) shows at the top.

Tap Add Trade (or Save Changes when editing).

Tip: When editing a Sell or Transfer Out, tick Exclude from Tax (not a CGT event) if it shouldn't be treated as a capital gains event.

How Crypto Differs From Stocks

  • More trade types. Crypto adds Trade (a swap) and Transfer In / Transfer Out for moving coins between wallets or exchanges.

  • Trade (swap) needs both sides. Choosing Trade relabels Quantity and Price to Quantity Received and Price Received, and adds three required fields for the coin you gave up: Asset Sold (pick from the crypto you already own), Quantity Sold and Price Sold (with its own Closing chip).

  • Fields change with type.Transfer In / Transfer Out show a Fee but no Price, and hide the Total. Buy, Sell and Trade show both Price and Fee.

  • Exchange, not broker. The source field is labelled Exchange.

Delete A Crypto Trade

When editing a trade, scroll down and tap Delete Trade, then confirm. This can't be undone.
