The CTC Balance Variation Report is a report designed to identify balance discrepancies between what we call the Calculated Balance and the Reported Balance. What are Calculated Balance and the Reported Balances you might be asking?
Calculated balance - The balance as calculated by CTC. This takes into consideration all of the imported transactions.
Reported balance - The current balance as the exchange or wallet tells us you are currently holding.
Caveats
This report is a current view of your balances and can't be downloaded in a historical timeframe.
Transactions imported via CSV don't have a Reported Balance, so we won't show anything for them in the Reported Balance column.
Transactions imported manually to a wallet that hasn't been imported won't show on this report.
