For unsupported exchanges, you can still upload trade history by preparing for a custom file. 

Please read the following instructions and create an Excel（.xlsx) or CSV (.csv) file, and upload it in "Custom" box at the upload screen of tax@cryptact.

Caution: Invalid trades

If you upload a custom file to fix invalid trades such as unsupported coins or missing prices, please be careful that those invalid trades might be rectified automatically in our future system enhancements. Before uploading a custom file, please ensure those invalid trades remain invalid; otherwise you might end up with double booking.

Please check the following files which contains all samples

 

Example 1: Buy ETHBTC ( i.e. pay BTC to get ETH) at an unsupported exchange

You bought 2 ETH and paid BTC when the price of ETH was 0.5 BTC. The fee was 0.01 ETH.

Please make fee currency and counter currency to be the same.
 

Example 1: You paid 0.01 BTC to get a product worth 5,000 JPY. Given the price of the product and the amount of BTC paid, the rate of BTC is 1BTC=500,000JPY.

Please divide the trade into two trades using a fiat currency.
 

Example: You bought 10ETH and paid 1BTC when 1ETH=0.1BTC. In tax@cryptact, that trade became invalid due to a missing price.
You researched by yourself and found 1BTC was 1,500,000 JPY at that time.

You can use dummy symbols from CTT2 to CTT199, if a certain currency is not supported in tax@cryptact.
 

Example: When 1BNK was 0.5BTC, you bought 2 BNK and paid 1BTC. Fee was 0.01BNK. In tax@cryptact, the trade became invalid becuase BNK wasn't supported.
