Historical price warnings appear when CoinLedger is unable to fetch the historical price of a specific coin.

Historical price warnings are not common, but they may appear if:

You are trading an obscure, low-volume coin that is not widely available
The cryptocurrency was transacted before being listed on exchanges or other platforms
You manually entered an incorrect ticker symbol for your coin (ex. BCT instead of BTC)
Your coin went through a "rebrand", and it needs to be re-mapped in the system. For example, ETHOS being renamed to BQX. (please contact our support team if your coin needs to be re-mapped)

How can I resolve Historical Price Warnings?

You can manually enter a historical price for your coin if you know what the price of the coin was at the time you were trading it. Use a tool like CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap to look up the historical price of the coin for the timestamp of the warning. Once you have located the price of the asset at the time you traded it, continue on to these steps below!

Step 1

To manually edit the historical price of a coin, navigate to the Transactions page and select the Historical Price Warning banner.

Step 2

Next, select Update Historical Prices.

Step 3

Now, within the Price Warning modal, you can manually enter the value of 1 unit of your coin at the particular Timestamp you were trading it. Do this for each asset that is missing an historical price (listed under Assets as shown below).

Remember to use a tool like CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap to look up the price of your coin at the specific timestamp you traded it.

Once you have entered a price for each asset, select Save All Prices.

Step 4

Now, your Historical Price Warnings will be resolved. CoinLedger will use the value you just manually entered to calculate your gains and losses on these trades.
