FAQ & Troubleshooting

I can't find my exchange

We are supporting all exchanges that are listed on CoinGecko. Our system is continuously updated with Coingecko's data to support new exchanges. If you don't see your exchange in the list, please contact us at [email protected].

If you are trading on an exchange that is not listed on CoinGecko, please exclude it from your report as are not able to support it.

I see multiple exchanges with similar names

Some exchanges have multiple entries based on their area of operation, blockchain or version. It is absolutely imperative for you to use correct id of the exchange you are trading on, otherwise your data will be mismatched and your trading history will contain incorrect reference data or your report might get rejected on submission.
