What is "missing price" and how do I fix it?
Short answer:
The message "Missing price" indicates that Coinfox was unable to determine a current market price for a specific token. This may be due to an incorrect token name or a token that is not listed. By adjusting the token ticker or manually entering a price, the issue can be resolved.
Detailed answer:
If Coinfox cannot correctly assign a token, it will appear in the list with the note "Missing price." This means that the token has been recognized, but no price value could be assigned. Coinfox obtains price data exclusively from market data provided by CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko.
Possible causes & solutions
- Incorrect or ambiguous token tickers
- Some token tickers may be imported incorrectly.
- ➤ Solution: Open the transaction with the missing price and adjust the ticker to match the correct token name as listed in Coinfox. After the change, the token will be recognized correctly and the price data will be adopted.
- Unlisted tokens (e.g., meme coins or new projects)
- Tokens that are not listed on either CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko will not be automatically recognized by Coinfox.
- ➤ Solution: In this case, manually enter a token price. You can enter the price at the time of purchase or a current reference price.
- This allows Coinfox to correctly calculate the value, and the transaction will be removed from the list of missing prices.
Result after correction
Once either the correct token ticker is set or a manual price is added, the note "Missing price" will disappear from your overview. The token will be correctly valued in the portfolio and will be fully included in the calculations (e.g., portfolio value, performance).
