How to connect AltCoinTrader to Coinfig

  1. Open AltCoinTrader API settings

    Log in to AltCoinTrader, open Account, then API, and create a new key.

  2. Tick View Account and Make Deposits

    View Account covers your balances and trades. AltCoinTrader uses Make Deposits for reading your deposit and withdrawal history, so tick it too. Leave Trading and Make Withdrawals unticked.

  3. Tick Savings if you used it

    If you ever used AltCoinTrader Savings, tick Savings so Coinfig can see your interest. AltCoinTrader has no read-only Savings permission: a key with Savings can also move funds between your wallet and your savings account. Leave it unticked if you never used Savings.

  4. Paste into Coinfig

    In Coinfig, choose AltCoinTrader, paste the key and secret, and connect. Coinfig re-syncs your history automatically.

Known limitations

  • Savings interest needs the Savings permission, which AltCoinTrader only offers together with moving funds between your wallet and savings.
  • AltCoinTrader CSV exports can stop at the most recent 200 trades, so the API key gives the more complete history.
  • Some legacy ZAR pairs may need manual review for the correct market price.

AltCoinTrader tax FAQ

How do I get an AltCoinTrader tax report?
Connect an API key with View Account and Make Deposits ticked for automatic sync of your trades, deposits and withdrawals, or upload a CSV export. Coinfig classifies your activity for SARS either way.
Does Coinfig support AltCoinTrader for SARS?
Yes. Coinfig applies FIFO cost basis and South African capital-versus-revenue logic to your AltCoinTrader trades.
Does AltCoinTrader report to SARS?
As a South African exchange, AltCoinTrader is within the scope of CARF reporting from 1 March 2026. Assume SARS can see your activity and file accordingly. This is not tax advice.
Should I use API or CSV for AltCoinTrader?
Use the API. It syncs trades, deposits and withdrawals, keeps them up to date, and is not capped the way CSV exports can be. If you also upload a CSV, Coinfig skips the CSV rows your API connection already has.
Which permissions does the AltCoinTrader key need?
View Account and Make Deposits. Add Savings only if you used AltCoinTrader Savings and want the interest included. That permission can also move funds between your wallet and savings. Never tick Trading or Make Withdrawals.
