Monthly ETH rebalancing — the execution takes 10 minutes but everything around it takes an hour

Been trimming ETH monthly when it runs up. Checking rate on Newton, comparing NDAX, deciding if switching is worth it, calculating what to sell, executing through CAD, waiting for settlement, buying.

The actual trades take maybe 10 minutes. Everything around them is the other 50.

Is this normal or am I doing something inefficient?

Newton shows a rate. I calculate what I should get. What lands is consistently 0.6-1% less, every time. Tracked it for several months.

Emailed support. Got: rates may fluctuate during processing. That's not an explanation.

Is there a way to see the actual cost before confirming or is the opaque rate just accepted?

Did anyone else not realize Newton creates two separate tax entries every time you rebalance? My accountant had thoughts

So I've been holding BTC ETH SOL and rebalancing monthly for over a year. Found out this year that selling ETH to get CAD and then buying BTC with that CAD is apparently two separate events for CRA purposes, not one.

I now have 67 entries to reconcile from rebalancing alone. My accountant was not impressed.

Is everyone else just accepting this or is there a way I'm not seeing to reduce the transaction count?
