How to fix missing market price warnings

Last Updated: June 23 2023

You may have to review and update transactions where there is no market price available. This error typically occurs when you add a transaction into CryptoTaxCalculator, and we can't determine the market value of the cryptocurrency at the time of the transaction.

Some common scenarios where we may not be able to find the historical market pricing information include: coins that are not traded often; have low liquidity; newly created; are unlisted; or were ICO transactions. Due to the way we obtain our historical pricing information from data aggregators, in these situations, CryptoTaxCalculator assumes a zero dollar price. When this happens you'll get a warning against the transaction itself as seen below:
