How to Identify and Rename the Correct Ticker in CoinTracking

TL;DR

Identifying the correct ticker is crucial to ensure accurate transaction tracking and reporting. CoinTracking tickers can be found in the Coin Trends section. This guide explains two main methods for finding the correct ticker—by Contract ID or by Ticker Name—and how to adjust tickers in your account.


1) Finding the Correct Ticker via Contract ID

For many cryptocurrencies, the Contract ID is the most reliable way to identify the correct ticker. CoinTracking sources its data from trusted platforms such as CoinMarketCap (CMC) and CoinGecko (CG).
 Steps:

  • Locate the Contract ID on CMC or CG: search for the coin, go to the Contracts section, and copy the displayed Contract ID.

CoinMarketCap                                                            CoinGecko

  • In CoinTracking, go to Coin Trends and paste the Contract ID into the search field.

Note: Not all coins have a Contract ID, and some may not be searchable by Contract ID in CoinTracking. In that case, search by ticker name.


2) Finding the Correct Ticker via Ticker Name

If no Contract ID is available, you can search by the coin’s ticker name.
 Steps:

  • Search for the ticker in Coin Trends.

  • Compare the displayed price with the price on CMC or CG, making sure to check the currency (USD, EUR, etc.).

Note: Small price differences are normal because CoinTracking and CMC/CG update prices at different intervals.


3) Adjusting the Ticker in CoinTracking

For a Single Transaction:

  • Go to the Transactions page.

  • Click the Currency/Ticker field of the relevant transaction and enter the correct ticker.

For Multiple Transactions:

  • Hold CTRL to select multiple transactions of the same type and update the ticker for all at once.

For Bulk Changes:

  • Use the Overwrite Coins feature to update tickers in bulk. Refer to the Overwrite Tickers in Bulk guide for details.
