And I expect to get one line as I only have I
trader-id in my table(s) but I get this:

1493 4321442143314432 09/09 two duck -200 
2 Duck Trading Company

1493 4321442143314432 09/09 two duck 200 5678 2
Duck Trading Company

In fact I dont actually expect to get
any response as the sum should have summed to zero.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

It's hard to say for sure because to don't have column delimiters in
output; but it kinda looks like the first result is sum of all rows
without an approval_number and the second ro has approval_number
5678
