RE: 15:28 first buy of day..228 Shares28 Nov 2018 13:39
Tropical,
For your info this is what MonayAM says about the sells/buys shown by them -
"It should be noted that all trade declarations made by the market do not include a buy or sell indicator and therefore we have to derive this information ourselves. The policy we have adopted is based on the mid price of the stock at the time of the declaration. For example, a trade declared at a price that is higher than the mid price at the time of declaration would be put in the buy column, a trade lower than the mid price would be put in the sell column. A trade which matches the mid price would be considered unknown. Please also note that the market can delay declaration of the trades for up to an hour in which case we will not make any assumptions and place that trade in the 'unknown' column. Please also note that many investors are able to buy and sell within the spread and also users of level 2 systems will actually be buying at the perceived sell price, these trades might therefore appear to be wrongly categorised."
Also to note that when a trade is delayed it does not show a buy/sell signal based on the time that it was made, it gets designated at the point of declaration, so if the market has moved since the original trade time the delayed trade will show incorrectly, you have to go back to the time of trade and look at the spread and/or trades around that time to correctly identify a delayed trade.....
Hope it helps...
