If your exchange is not listed in the Exchange API Data drop down menu, or you do not wish to use the API to connect to permit read-only access to the exchange directly, you can opt to manually import the transactions using the File Import option if the exchange allows you to download/export your transaction history into a file.  This article contains the following sections:

• File Import Step-By-Step Instructions
• Using the File Import Template for Unlisted Exchanges

File Import Step-By-Step Instructions

Please see the following step-by-step instructions once you have downloaded your transaction history from the exchange:

1. Log in to your Ledgible account and select the Exchanges tab.
2. Select the Add Exchange Data button from the top right.
3. Select the radio button (circle) to the left of File Import and then select Next.
4. If your exchange IS listed, select the exchange from the list and follow the instructions to import your transaction file. 
   
   If your exchange IS NOT listed, you will need to use the template file to ensure your transaction export file is processed correctly into Ledgible.  Choose Exchange Not Listed/Template Import from the bottom of the list.  See the information below for examples and details on importing your file using the template.
