Managing prices

The Manage Prices menu lets you add manual prices that override oracle lookups and edit prices that rotki has already fetched and cached from oracles. It is split into three sections:

• Latest Prices: Manual prices used when the current price of an asset needs to be displayed.
• Historic Prices: Manual prices used at a specific time in the past.
• Oracle Prices: Prices that rotki fetched from an oracle (CryptoCompare, CoinGecko, DefiLlama, etc.) and cached, plus the per-asset oracle caches themselves.

Latest and historical prices

To add a new price, open Latest Prices or Historic Prices from the Manage Prices menu and press the plus button. This opens the add form where you can specify the assets, the price, and (for historical entries) the date.

After saving, the entry appears in the list. When a manual latest price is in use it is flagged in the UI with an orange icon next to the price; the tooltip reads "Manually defined price".

Oracle prices

The Oracle Prices page has two tabs:

• Prices: Every individual price rotki has cached from a price oracle, with the asset pair, value, source, and timestamp.
• Caches: The per-asset historical price caches that rotki maintains so it does not have to refetch the same time series.

Each row in the Prices tab can be edited or deleted. Use this when you know the cached price is wrong (for example, an oracle returned a stale or incorrect value) and want to override it without adding a separate manual entry. Deleting an entry removes the cached value entirely; the next lookup will hit the oracle again.

Click the edit icon on a row to open the edit dialog:

Editing or deleting an oracle price entry invalidates rotki's in-memory historic price cache for that (asset, timestamp) pair, so any other place displaying that price (history events, balances, snapshots) updates immediately.
