CoinLedger only supports automatic imports of margin transactions from Kraken, with support for margin trades on additional exchanges going live in the future. In the meantime, you can import leveraged buys and sells from any exchange into CoinLedger manually using the Add Transaction button on the Transactions page. Find step-by-step instructions for this process here.

Step 2:
Select Activity in the upper-right corner.

Step 3:
Then, click Export.

Step 4:

Next, you will generate your Deposit and Withdrawal files. You will need to export each separately. Under Type, select "Deposit" or "Withdraw," and under Time Range select a date range that captures as much of your transaction history as possible.

After that, press Download.

You may have to export multiple files to capture all of your history. Please make sure dates do not overlap to avoid duplicate transactions.

Step 5

Next, you will need to generate your Trade History file. On the menu on the left side of your screen, navigate to the Spot section. Then, click on the Trade History tab.

Select the Trade History option, and click Export.

As for your date range, make sure to select one that captures as much of your transaction history as possible. You can edit this by clicking the 1 year (custom) option on the menu shown below.

Finally, press Generate and then Download to export your file.

DO NOT open the file in Excel and "save as" a new file.

It's important to upload the raw file that Poloniex exports straight from your "Downloads" folder. This avoids rounding errors and corrupting the file. If you need to edit your CSV, please use Google Sheets.

Step 6:
You will receive a file in .csv format. Navigate to Step 1. Import. Select Add Account then choose the Poloniex tab on CoinLedger. Click on Upload File and drag each of your CSV files into the box to import your transactions.

When importing a transaction history CSV, you will have the option to specify a start date for your import under the Drag and Drop Files Here box. This feature is designed to prevent duplicate data from being imported. You can access this feature by hitting the Import Settings drop down menu, as shown below, and then specifying a date for your import to start from. All transactions after this date will be imported. You should not do this if you are importing all of your transactions into CoinLedger for the first time.
