It may take a few minutes for all your transactions to load into Integral. You can see transactions trickle in from the Bookkeeping page. Transactions are done loading when your Unrealized Gain/Loss and Transaction Count appear in the Treasury page.

Note: Kraken does not provide transaction hashes, or from/to addresses. This can make it difficult to gather the ideal metadata to interpret transactions. Unfortunately there aren't too many workarounds at this stage, but we are monitoring their API for updates.
