Note: This connection only gives us READ-ONLY permission to your account to access your orders/trades. We do not have any other permissions. We do NOT have any trading/transfer of coins/assets permissions. 

That's it! At the moment, we only support <crypto>USD/CURRENCY-type transactions. We are working towards more crypto integrations and supporting the full crypto environment.

You will now be able to enter trades like BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, etc., in your TradesViz.com account and it will be tagged as Cryptocurrency and you will also be able to see charts for it. 

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about the Kraken auto-sync integration and also about our general Crypto asset type addition to TradesViz!
