Weird behaviour with trading accounts?

[Mark]

Ok, this way it worked - the main difference this time: using "Basic 
Ledger" view instead of the "Transaction Journal" view I have been using 
before.
How (which fields in which row) would I enter this in "Transaction 
Journal view to get the same result?

Thanks,

Mark
