Select the account to which to record this transaction, from the In Account drop-down list. If you only have one account, this drop-down list is not displayed.
By default, the Action on this page is set to Sell by ID. To change this, select a different transaction from the Action drop-down list. The fields that display depend on the transaction that is selected.
Enter the date of the transaction in the Transaction Date (mm/dd/yyyy) field. You can also click the Calendar icon and select the appropriate transaction date from the calendar that displays.
Enter the symbol of the security in the Symbol field. Click Verify to confirm you have entered the correct symbol for the security.
Note: Once you click Verify, a grid displays at the bottom of the page, if you have lots to sell. This grid enables you to find lots from which to sell shares.

To calculate the Total Proceeds of the transaction, do one of the following:
Select the Price per Share radio button - Enter the Price per Share and the Commission amount in the fields provided. Once you have entered this information, click the Calculate Total Proceeds button. The result displays in the Total Proceeds field.
Select the Total Proceeds radio button - If you select this radio button, the Total Proceeds field becomes active and the Calculate Total Proceeds button is no longer displayed. Enter the total proceeds of the trade in the field provided. Be sure to subtract the total commission amount and any fees.
Use the grid to specify from which lot(s) to allocate shares to sell. Update the appropriate lot ID(s) with the number of Shares to Sell. To clear the entered lot information, click the Clear button.
