RE: Lot of selling1 Aug 2022 14:11
Could just be profit taking after a general 6 week uptrend, a 70% increase in that time is pretty steep, albeit driven by news and rising gas prices.
Agree with Peakview that the buy/sell split does appear to be displayed okay today. However, and I hate to be pedantic, but we need to stop saying reported/misreported as this info is never reported from the market to start with, it is simply LSE trying to almost guess at the direction of each trade based on other data. It's an important distinction. I've even seen rampers trying to persuade others with comments like "it's MM games, they're marking the buys as sells" or similar - simply not true, nothing to do with the MMs at all.
For clarity, I'm not saying anyone here is trying to misinform, just trying to help spread some knowledge about something that is often misunderstood.
