Adding a new transaction

You can either click the (+) interface icon or press + (Shift+=) to open the menu. The icon will change to (x) indicating that a second click will cancel the operation. The icon changes depending on the entered values, and when everything is correct the icon will become (✓) indicating it is ready to submit the values.

First you need to pick a currency. The list of currencies will filter as you type. You can select a currency by clicking the swatch, or if it is the very first item listed, press enter.

Next, you specify the quantity for the selected currency. This value is strictly numeric, however negative numbers are allowed. This allows the transaction ledger to behave like a traditional ledger, where you keep a history of buy and sell actions.

With the currency and quantity values set, press enter to commit the transaction, or click the (✓) icon. When your transaction has been added, the quantity field will reset.

Pressing esc (escape) at any point will clear the current input, a second press of esc will cancel the input and place the cursor on the former input field, or close the transaction menu.

Working with your ledger

The main content area is the transaction ledger, which is a record of all your active currencies. Use the (+) to add new transactions into the ledger. The order of output is according to input, and transactions are grouped by the currency.

Apart from the main header there is a summary row and a hidden transaction history.

Note that any transactions or entries are stored in your browser. They are for your information only and are not submitted to the back end. You can verify this by reviewing our code on GitHub or inspecting what is sent in the browser console.

Transaction summary

All coins are valued according to Bitcoin. We do this to normalise our calculations and Bitcoin is the one cryptocurrency guaranteed to have a fiat value accross the board. The summary row shows you the Bitcoin value of the transaction group, and the total quantity of the respective stock.

Transaction history

A register of all trades you have entered into the countmycrypto interface is kept in the transaction history, which you can inspect by clicking on the transaction header. This will reveal a row for each transaction, with the date it was entered into the countmycrypto ledger, its quantity and an optional metadata note.

This is where you amend or delete your individual transactions.

The checkbox in the far right column indicates whether the row is included in the sum total calculation. An unchecked row will be ignored, and clearly indicated. This allows you to add theoretical ledger entries, to track hypothetical profit and loss.
