Yah, but users get confused about the signs because they are different based
on which direction the transaction is going. Something that looks to them
like it's inverted might actually be not and the other way around. Probably
you're on the right track but some better wording and/or some thought as to
what goes in the [insert transaction information here] part would be in
good.
