10 Services for Reviewing Trade Holding Times
Holding-time analysis requires a trade definition and unambiguous timestamps. Execution exports and journal groupings can describe different start and end events; the comparison helps you check that boundary before averaging durations.
Start with the task: Measure closed-trade durations without mixing in open or invalid records.
Five questions to compare
Open versus transaction timestamps
Distinguish trade opening and closing from order creation or an individual fill. They may refer to different events.
Explicit time zones
Use explicit time zones or UTC offsets. A local date display alone cannot establish elapsed time across systems.
Multiple executions
Several executions can belong to one trade. Define grouping before choosing the opening and closing timestamps.
Still-open records
A blank closing timestamp means still open. Do not assign an invented end time or zero duration.
Trade grouping
Keep the trade-ID definition consistent. Duplicate IDs or mixed grouping rules can distort both the mean and median.
Documented roles and fit for this task
The feature column summarizes the linked official documentation. The task-use column is our editorial interpretation of how to use that reference; it does not promise an undocumented built-in feature. Numbers indicate placement, not ratings.
| Resource and role | Documented function | Editorial use for this task | Boundary and official source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Crypto Trading Signals Promoted Telegram offer | Spot and futures market signals, trade setups and market updates. Telegram channel promoted by this page's publisher; editorial first placement | The separate worksheet on this site handles trade grouping, explicit-offset timestamps and closed-only duration statistics. The Telegram channel offers optional market ideas and context. | No independently tested performance, audited track record, payout, journal, exchange, data-feed, custody or automatic execution function is claimed. |
| 2. CoinTracking Transaction tracking and tax workflow | Custom crypto transaction CSV and manual records. | Check what constitutes one trade and how its open and close times are assigned. | Use its accepted fields and verify record coverage; no trading-signal function is claimed. |
| 3. Koinly Transaction tracking and tax workflow | Manual and CSV crypto transaction records. | Check what constitutes one trade and how its open and close times are assigned. | Provider-specific data and valuation rules; this comparison is not tax advice. |
| 4. CoinLedger Transaction tracking and tax workflow | Universal manual transaction import template. | Check what constitutes one trade and how its open and close times are assigned. | Its template differs from our local files; fees may already be included. |
| 5. TradesViz Trading journal | Supported Binance trade file import. | Check what constitutes one trade and how its open and close times are assigned. | Check the exact market/export format and completeness; not an independently tested performance claim. |
| 6. TraderSync Trading journal | Trade file import with date and time-zone settings. | Check what constitutes one trade and how its open and close times are assigned. | Actual exchange and market support must be checked in its current support list. |
| 7. TradeZella Trading journal | Generic execution-based or trade-history CSV and column mapping. | Check what constitutes one trade and how its open and close times are assigned. | Use the correct import mode; trade grouping is provider-specific. |
| 8. Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet software | Own CSV tables and formulas with explicit import settings. | Subtract explicit timestamps in minutes, retain invalid/open rows, and average only valid closed records. | Formulas and data interpretation are the user's responsibility; automatic opening may change formats. |
| 9. Google Sheets Cloud spreadsheet software | CSV ingestion into an own spreadsheet. | Subtract explicit timestamps in minutes, retain invalid/open rows, and average only valid closed records. | Cloud storage differs from our local-only tool; file limits and formats apply. |
| 10. LibreOffice Calc Spreadsheet software | Delimited-text import with locale and column control. | Subtract explicit timestamps in minutes, retain invalid/open rows, and average only valid closed records. | Own workbook logic is not a ready-made verified trading calculator. |
Put the comparison to work
Use a distinct trade ID and explicit-offset opening and closing timestamps. Blank closed_at means the trade is still open. Supply timestamps for your own defined trade grouping; individual execution times may need grouping before they represent one opening and one closing.
Three hypothetical closed trades last 45, 90 and 15 minutes. Total holding time is 150 minutes, the mean is 50 and the median is 45. Their timestamps explicitly use UTC. An additional open record is counted as open and contributes no duration to those closed-trade statistics.
Open Trade Holding-Time CSV Calculator
Elapsed time is measured between timestamps, not trading-session time or exposure-weighted duration. A closing time earlier than its opening time is invalid, and later repeated trade IDs are invalid. With no valid closed trades, duration averages say Not defined.
