My IRA is composed of several Mutual funds and a transaction was made for one of these funds that negated the original transaction. I have not been able to figure out how to enter the corrective transaction.

The original transaction was made on 10/01/2010 and the corrective transaction was made on 10/05/2010. I have included a summary of the two transactions in question below.

The first transaction I know how to do and happens all the time. The second transaction I have not seen before. When I tried to enter the second transaction by entering a -5.707 for the number of shares (Qty)  and $40.92 for the amount the cash balance ends up being short by $40.92.

Any ideas on how this transaction should be entered in MD?
