How to export from Kraken.

  1. 1

    On Kraken open History → Export (on Kraken Pro, Documents → Export), choose Trades, and drop the CSV here (unzip the download first).

Then in Journalcade press Import and drop the file in. There are no columns to match.

Or connect it once Pro

Sync Kraken in three steps.

  1. 1
    Make a read-only key

    On Kraken open Settings → API (on Kraken Pro, Settings → Connections & API) and create a key. Tick only Query Funds, Query Open Orders & Trades and Query Closed Orders & Trades. Never Deposit, Withdraw or any trade permission.

  2. 2
    Copy both parts

    Copy the API key and the private key. Kraken shows the private key once, so keep the window open.

  3. 3
    Paste them in Journalcade

    Open Settings → Auto-sync, pick Kraken and paste them in. The first sync brings your history in; then trades come in every 6 hours, or when you press Sync now.

Questions

Quick answers.

Does Journalcade sync with Kraken?+
Yes, on Pro: connect it once in Settings, Auto-sync, with a key that can only read, and trades come in every 6 hours or when you press Sync now. Importing its export works on every plan.
Which Kraken export do I use?+
On Kraken open History → Export (on Kraken Pro, Documents → Export), choose Trades, and drop the CSV here (unzip the download first).
Are my fees included?+
When the file lists the fees, they’re taken off each trade instead of your account’s fee rates; when it doesn’t, your account’s rates are used.
Is importing free?+
Yes, importing a file is on every plan; the Free plan takes 30 new trades a month. Auto-sync is Pro.
Will a trade come in twice?+
No. A trade already in your journal is matched, not copied, so you can import overlapping dates.
