How to export the transaction records of CoinEx contracts?

What Are CoinEx Contract Transaction Records?

CoinEx is a global cryptocurrency exchange that offers both spot and contract trading services. When users engage in contract trading, it becomes essential to keep track of their transaction records for various purposes such as auditing, tax reporting, or personal financial analysis. These transaction records typically include details like trade time, pair traded, position size, entry/exit prices, profit/loss, fees, and order IDs.

Understanding what exactly constitutes a contract transaction record on CoinEx helps users ensure they're exporting the correct data. It's not just about trades executed but also includes funding fees, liquidations, transfers, and other contract-related activities. This foundational understanding ensures that when you proceed to export your data, you're capturing all relevant information.

Accessing Your CoinEx Account and Navigating to Contracts

Before initiating the export process, you must first log into your CoinEx account using your registered email and password. Two-factor authentication (2FA) should be enabled for security reasons, so make sure you have access to your authenticator app or SMS verification method.

Once logged in, navigate to the Contracts section by clicking on the 'Derivatives' tab located at the top menu bar. From there, select 'Contract Trading' to enter the contract interface. On the left-hand side, locate and click on 'Account' or 'Transaction Records', which may vary slightly depending on the current CoinEx UI layout. This will bring up a detailed list of all your contract-related transactions.

It’s important to verify that you're viewing contract transactions specifically, not spot or futures trades. The system should display options to filter by time range, trade type, or asset pair, allowing you to narrow down the records before exporting.

Filtering and Customizing Your Transaction Data

Before exporting, you might want to apply filters to customize the dataset based on specific criteria. CoinEx allows users to filter by date range, which is particularly useful if you only need records from a particular period—such as monthly or quarterly reports.

To do this, locate the date picker tool near the top of the transaction table. Click on it and select the start and end dates for the records you wish to export. You can also filter by trading pair (e.g., BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT), transaction type (such as opening a long/short position, funding fee, or liquidation), and even by order ID if you're looking for a specific trade.

These filtering tools are crucial because they help reduce clutter and ensure precision in the exported file. If you're unsure about the exact dates or types, consider exporting without filters first, then applying them after downloading the full dataset using spreadsheet software like Excel or Google Sheets.

Exporting the Filtered Transaction Records

After applying your preferred filters, the next step involves exporting the data. Look for an 'Export' button, usually found near the top right corner of the transaction table. In some versions of the CoinEx platform, it may appear as a small icon resembling a downward arrow or a document with an arrow pointing out.

Clicking on the export option will typically prompt a dialog box asking you to confirm the file format. CoinEx generally supports CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format, which is compatible with most spreadsheet and accounting software. Select CSV and wait for the system to generate the file.

Once ready, the browser will automatically begin downloading the file. Make sure to note the download location, and avoid closing the tab until the download completes. It's also wise to rename the file immediately with a descriptive label (e.g., “CoinEx_Contract_Transactions_2024_Q3.csv”) for future reference.

Verifying and Reviewing the Exported File

After downloading the CSV file, open it using any spreadsheet application to verify its contents. Ensure that all the fields you filtered for are present, including timestamp, trade direction (buy/sell), quantity, price, fees, and net profit/loss.

Sometimes, certain fields may appear empty due to missing data or formatting issues. If discrepancies are found, revisit the CoinEx website and attempt the export again, ensuring no filters were misapplied. Additionally, check if all pages of transaction history were included—some platforms limit exports to the currently displayed page.

If the file contains multiple sheets or tabs, review each one carefully. Some exchanges separate different transaction types into distinct sheets. Confirm that the currency units (e.g., USDT, USDⓈ) match your expectations and that timestamps reflect your local time zone or UTC, depending on your settings.
