Export the file from Kraken

  1. Open Documents

    Sign in at kraken.com, click the profile icon at the top right, then Documents.

  2. Create a Ledgers export

    In the Exports section, click Create Export (some accounts show New Export) and choose Ledgers, not Trades: a Trades export doesn't carry the reference that ties a trade's two sides together.

  3. Set the dates and keep every field

    Set a start date and an end date. Leave every field ticked and the asset filter empty: without fields such as refid and aclass, Leaf Edge can't read the file.

  4. Generate the CSV

    Choose CSV and click Generate. The export is queued: it can take from minutes to a week, and Kraken doesn't email you, so check back on Documents.

  5. Download the file

    When its download icon is enabled, download the export; it stays available for 14 days. If it arrives as a .zip file, extract ledgers.csv from it. Don't open and save it again in a spreadsheet first: that can change the columns Leaf Edge reads.

Import it into Leaf Edge

  1. Open Upload File in Leaf Edge

    Sign in to Leaf Edge and open Sync in the top bar. Choose Upload File. File import works on every plan, including Free.

    The Sync page in Leaf Edge with Upload File selected.

  2. Drop the file in

    Drag the file onto Upload Trading Statement, or click the box to choose it. Leaf Edge recognises an export from Kraken by what is inside it, so there is nothing to pick first. Each file can be up to 4 MB and 2,000 rows.

    The Upload Trading Statement box on the Sync page.

  3. Check the preview

    Nothing is saved yet. Review Import counts the rows as New, Unchanged, Corrections, Skipped and Rejected, and lists each row with its reason. Read every skipped and rejected row before you go on.

    Each spot trade is two ledger rows that share a reference, and Leaf Edge pairs them into one fill.

    If the file holds trades in a currency your journal doesn't have yet, the preview says so. They keep their own currency, and your P&L is shown in the one currency you pick from the filter bar, converted at the European Central Bank's reference rate on the day each trade closed.

    An example preview, from an Interactive Brokers statement: counts of new, unchanged, corrected, skipped and rejected rows above the list of rows.

  4. Commit the import

    Press Commit import to save the trades, or Cancel preview to leave your journal as it was. Leaf Edge pairs the fills into round trips, so you will usually see fewer trades than the file has rows.

    Changed your mind? Undo imported trades appears straight after an import, until your next upload and as long as you haven't started reviewing those trades.

On Kraken Pro

Click the profile icon, then Statements, and click Export Statement. Choose Ledgers, set the dates, keep every field, pick CSV and click Export. Download it with the icon once it is ready.

What comes in

  • Spot trades, as fills. Kraken's ledger times are UTC, which is how Leaf Edge reads them.
  • Purchases made with Buy Crypto, or in the new Kraken app, are recorded as spend and receive rather than trades, so they don't come in.
  • Margin, rollover, staking and earn rows aren't imported.

Then review your first trade

Once your trades are in, each one has its own page: link it to a playbook or mark it as an honest skip, grade it, and note what you planned, what you did and what you learned. How a trade review works.
