Utterly confused about current status of BTCEUR support

[arminus]

Just started to evaluate self-hosted ghostfolio, main case would be to track crypto transactions with EUR as base currency with CSVs from cointracking being imported.

I researched for about an hour on open and closed tickets and discussions here, but I fail to understand the current status when it comes to being able to use symbols like BTC-EUR (or BTCEUR). Here #2606 (comment) it says that COINGECKO is now used (to get BTCEUR rates?), but trying to import a CSV with COINGECKO as DataSource and either BTC-EUR or BCTEUR as symbol shows a 404 for the CoinGeckoService - why?

Also, I can't add BTCEUR in Add Market Data - all I see there are USD symbols, apparently using Yahoo as source only.

All I managed was to enter a sample transaction manually, by using BTCUSD but unit and fee price as EUR - which it then on-the-fly converted to USD - but the displays it (mostly) in EUR elsewhere.

So this seems kind of "half-baked" in-progress and highly confusing for a newbie not trading in USD... Is this then basically https://buymeacoffee.com/ghostfolio/w/31930 ? Which still kind of begs the question why COINGECKO doesn't seem to work for me?

Hi @arminus

You can find the ticket about this topic here: #3320

I will close this discussion as a duplicate for better organization. Thanks for understanding!

Thanks for the fast reply - still confused about the role of coingecko though, which is supposedly used somehow according to other tickets I've seen, but which doesn't work for me.

Coingecko is used as the underlying data provider. If you like to add an activity, search for Bitcoin and select the entry with the ticker bitcoin.
