This is the time period an asset is held before the gains are considered long-term capital gains. This is default set to your chosen country's rulings.

Price Fallback Window
When prices are missing on transactions, we will search for transactions of the same asset within a window around the transaction time, and if a price exists for this, we will assume this price on the missing one. The default time is set to 4 hours; it can be modified from 0 to 24 hours.
Adjust Balance Accuracy
This feature provides some leeway to ignore balance remaining issues below a certain fiat threshold because of decimal place rounding issues. This is usually caused by the exchange's transaction data that has been rounded up. Some exchanges only provide information to X number of decimals, while the real potential decimal place can be 16 or even up to 24 decimals. This can lead to some rounding errors, particularly if you have done lots of trading. Some level of inaccuracy is to be expected when you have such a variance in the quality of the data.
