Action	This indicates whether a action was a Buy, Sell, Sell Short, or is left blank for monetary transactions.
Quantity	The number of stock or mutual fund shares bought, sold or sold short. For fixed income securities, this number reflects the face value of the security you bought or sold. For options, this reflects the number of option contracts you bought or sold. For monetary transactions, this field will display a dash (—).

Description	This field provides a description of the security or an explanation of the transaction.
Price	This indicates the price you paid or received for the purchase or sale of a unit of the security. For example, if you bought 10 shares of ABC at $90 a share, the price would be $90. For monetary transactions, this field will display $0.00.
