**Describe the problem:**  
I use the Kraken API to import trades, however the trade Fee is being created as a separate Cost transaction, rather than being incorporated as part of the trade. This causes an issue, as the Cost Base is then incorrect.

**Which exchange/wallet is this regarding?**  
Kraken

**How did you import data into this wallet?**  
API

**What have you tried to fix this so far?**

I have tried to manually add the fee to the trade transaction, but the UI prevents this. Seems importing via CSV works. When can we expect a fix for the Kraken API?

I brought this up to Koinly support at the start of December, still hasn’t been added.

Seen the same. Have very high trading fees and I don’t know what makes up this amount.
