**Describe the problem:**  
I just connected the Kraken API, but it’s showing the fee for a trade as a “cost” on a completely separate line. I tried to manually edit the trade transaction to add that cost as a fee so the cost basis would be correct, but that option is grayed-out for some reason.

How can I fix this fee showing up as a separate line item problem? Thanks.

**Which exchange/wallet is this regarding?**  
Kraken (possibly relevant for others too)

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

**What have you tried to fix this so far?**  
Manually editing the trade transaction to add the fee, but it was impossible (grayed out).

Hi, this is how we currently import kraken fees. We will be making some improvements so that the fee is included in the traded amount. The csv option may be an alternative in the meantime.
