Welcome to the ccGains documentation!

The ccGains (cryptocurrency gains) package provides a python library for calculating capital gains made by trading cryptocurrencies or foreign currencies.

Some of its features are:

• calculates the capital gains using the first-in/first out (FIFO) principle,
• creates capital gains reports as CSV, HTML or PDF (instantly ready to print out for the tax office),
• can create a more detailed capital gains report outlining the calculation and used bags,
• differs between short and long term gains (amounts held for less or more than a year),
• treats amounts held and traded on different exchanges separately,
• treats exchange fees and transaction fees directly resulting from trading properly as losses,
• provides methods to import your trading history from various exchanges,
• loads historic cryptocurrency prices from CSV files and/or
• loads historic prices from APIs provided by exchanges,
• caches historic price data on disk for quicker and offline retrieval and less traffic to exchanges,
• for highest accuracy, uses the decimal data type for all amounts
• supports saving and loading the state of your portfolio as JSON file for use in ccGains calculations in following years
