At Bitfinex, innovation never stops. The dedication of our team keeps us at the forefront of an industry in a perpetual state of change. At the dawn of this new decade, we are pleased to present some major features and add ons to the report tool that will enhance the trading reports of our customers.

Please remember to check our old notes that explain how to obtain a full tax report.

Specialized reports

Three reporting tools have been added to help traders keep a better record of their activity.

All of the new added reports can be displayed by day/month/year, and include a pair filter that separates the results by pairs or currencies.

1 — Trade volume report: This report shows the amount of traded volume over a certain period of time, allowing users to filter by pairs if required

2 — Loan report: This new function shows users how their funding strategy is working. The results are displayed as daily returns, accumulative returns on the time period and as an annualized percentage return.

User interface and usability

Bitfinex is well known for having one of the best UI/UX on the market. We always aim to improve the user experience, as evidenced by the addition of some new features to the report section.

1 — Filter columns: Users can filter the columns they want to see, so as to have a smaller screen, thereby removing information that is not required for analysis.

This function can be enabled by clicking on the filter columns and then selecting the desired columns, as shown in this video.

2- Mobile view: As mobile is increasingly important for our users, we’ve added a new mobile responsive theme to display the reports information. This is available on the app and website.

  • Capital letters no longer considered
  • Addition of a reset button
  • Search function for up to 3 pages, letting a user decide if he or she wants to continue, preventing long waiting times.

Future Plans

There are a variety of enhancements in the pipeline for the reporting tool in 2020:

  • New sub site for improved downloading of public data
  • Optimized framework for sharing data between users
  • Hosted version of the report framework
  • Special corporate report tools

While we have many plans for our reporting tools moving forward, what matters most to us is developing a framework that matches the needs of our users. To assist us, please reach out with feedback to [email protected].
