10 Apps To Use in Tracking Your Cryptocurrency Portfolio
It can be very easy to track your trading performance if you're invested in only one cryptocurrency or token or coin. However, it is very challenging to track portfolio performance if you are already invested in many cryptocurrencies or tokens or coins. For instance, just the mere task of checking the different websites for cryptocurrency prices for all tokens in order to decide which crypto to buy, sell or hold, can take a lot of time.
Additionally, you might not like the habit of installing separate apps on your computer or phone or device in order to keep opening each and every time to track individual tokens or coins. Therefore, crypto tracking apps come in handy because you can track all tokens and coins in your portfolio at a go and in a single app for tracking, for instance just by merely adding all the wallets or individual tokens in a single app.
Moreover, crypto portfolio tracking apps allow you to assess performance for the total amount of holding in the portfolio at one place, to easily get news and alerts as well as a combination of other indicators that could affect prices and thus performance, or simply to predict price movement and make decisions before it is too late. For one, cryptocurrency prices change rather very quickly so you need the right information and at the right time in your hand.
There are many features to take advantage of when using portfolio tracking apps in order to make your trading and performance tracking easier, quicker and better. Many of these apps also allow you to trade and track cryptocurrency performance on-the-go because they are mobile agnostic. Some allow you to copy trading from whales and others have social network features.
Here are top ten crypto portfolio tracking apps you can install.
1. Altpocket
Altpocket is free, and like many other crypto portfolio tracking apps, allows you to track a variety of exchanges such as Poloniex, Coinbase, Ethereum Wallet, Ethereum Nanopool, Ethermine, Nicehash and Bittrex using API keys. You can then set to trade automatically or do it manually.

Furthermore, the application's "Leader boards" allows you to search and see users who are using the platform and follow or emulate those who are making massive returns.
