As professional traders flock to the digital asset trading space, we remain committed to providing access to all the tools required to meet their needs.

In early October we launched a new range of reporting tools allowing traders to more conveniently track, manage and analyse trading/funding activity across their Bitfinex account. Organisation is a core component of an effective trading strategy and we are pleased to present our users with the tools required to effectively manage said trading.

A selection of the new reporting additions are outlined in greater detail below. If you have additional feedback for how we can continue to improve our tools, don’t hesitate to reach out to us! Our team can be found across Telegram, Reddit as well as via feedback-dev@bitfinex.com and support@bitfinex.com; we encourage you to get in touch!

Alternatively, apply for one of our openings at Bitfinex.com/careers if you would like to contribute to our development. We’re a globally distributed team consisting of 100+ passionate developers, support managers and passionate cryptocurrency enthusiasts. If you get excited about being in an industry that is breaking new ground and have a disposition of confidence towards challenging technical feats, we want to talk to you.

Quick view

The new reporting tools were created with simplicity and accessibility in mind.

Built to be both faster and easier to use, traders can now instantly compile an overview of necessary account information about their ledgers, trades, orders, deposits and withdrawals, as information about founding: offers, loans and credits.

Improved UI

The UI is based on modern web technology improving how the data is displayed, as well as responsiveness across different devices.

CSV Export

Users can export the data between the selected time frames just clicking the csv export button and selecting the date format intended to receive.

An email would be sent with the correspondent data to the users main account email.

Unlimited Date Query

All date limits have been removed ensuring that all account history data can be both checked online or exported as a CSV.

‘Save or share’

Special URLs are created with each frame selection to allow for sharing amongst co-workers or for improved navigability.

Blockchain explorers

Blockchain explorers have been added for both deposits and withdrawals to allow for access to detailed blockchain information on transactions info, blocks details and addresses.

Fast and secure

The updated reporting tools function as a microservice running atop the Bitfinex Grenache network ensuring improved security, performance, response times and scalability. We have also added ‘time-expiry’ URLs on CSV exports as to add a security layer protecting user information.

Public trades

Users can have access to the public trades for each pair and also export them as a csv.

Future Plans

We have many development plans moving forward but what matters most to us is what you want. Please reach out to us on Telegram if you’d like to make a suggestion. Here are a number of the plans that we have for the reporting tool:
