Quick View

Using the new reporting tools couldn’t be simpler. To download the new reporting software, go to releases section of Githubs repository bitfinexcom/bfx-report-electron and select the corresponding version according your own platform.

Once the download is complete and software is installed you now have access to all your reports without needing to login, authenticate or anything related.

Data Sync

A highlight of this software is the fact that all data is synced locally, automatically. The sync experience has been developed in a manner which is as smooth and simple as possible, and which allows you to always remain up to date with account developments.

Data Sync requests occur via the cloud as done previously and shows up locally when completed.

New features allow you to to active, deactive and refresh the data sync intuitively with just one click.

Offline / Airplane mode

As data is synced locally, users can log in and check their account developments regardless of whether there is an active internet connection available or not.

Instantaneous queries

Another refreshing benefit of the local data sync setup is that there is no longer any need to wait for queries. All data queries complete in less than seconds, regardless of the quantity of data being processed.

Local CSV export

As to make the reporting software compatible with unrelated trading software's used by our users, we have added the option to export all reporting data.

General Improvements

2. Improved styling with unique colorways

Color was added to the amount columns as to seamlessly differentiate between positive and negative values.

3. Fixes
