Binance Beginnings: How Do I Find The Price I Paid For Cryptocurrencies?
I’m starting to find that there are way too many beginners entering cryptocurrency and far, far too few resources for beginners to expedite their learning. With that said, I will begin typing up small, but helpful tips or mini-tutorials on how to do stuff at certain exchanges or with certain cryptocurrency-centric products.
The First in the ‘Binance Beginnings’ Series: Order & Trade History
As we approach tax season, I am finding many people in my network are nervous about taxes when it comes to their cryptocurrency trades and are having trouble navigating. With that said, the ‘Binance Beginnings’ series will contain a string of helpful mini-tutorials or more in-depth explanations for cryptocurrency beginners that Binance otherwise may not provide. Please give me feedback on whether this was helpful or not and how it can be improved!
How To Access Your Trade History On Binance
Step 1 — Go to Binance’s homepage:
Very simple, going to Binance’s URL will bring you to the homepage which is seen above.
Step 2 — Hover over ‘Orders’ and click ‘Trade History’:
When you hover over the ‘Funds’ button on the Binance toolbar, you will see the following:
The cool part about Binance is that if you click ‘Order History’ instead of ‘Trade History,’ it will show you all of your all of your trade history along with all the open orders you have put into the order book and then cancelled in the past. So it shows everything you will find in ‘Trade History’ in addition to all of your cancelled trades.
This could be helpful if you want to look back at certain opportunities you might have taken, but decided last minute to cancel the trade — reflecting on trade decisions is a good way to learn about the health of your decision making process too.
Step 3 — Sort through your orders on the ‘Trade History’ page:
Clicking on the ‘Trade History’ button will bring you to a page with all of your historical trades and the corresponding information. Even better, we have the ability to export our trade information into a spreadsheet — this data export feature makes a meeting with your tax professional much easier because you’ll have all of your trades on the exchange in a consolidated spreadsheet ready to add up and figure out your profit & losses.
There we have it! You can now easily find your trade and order history on the Binance exchange if you were having trouble finding it before. If you haven’t yet, take a look at the other Binance content I have created:
