Not a hope in hell, those stats based on a 100% BEST GUESS on all TRADES printed and rehashed from the real LSE
Based on the dumbest Algorithm in the world 3rd party sites like this one, take them and ADD a BEST GUESS
All above Dimbo's Mid price = Buy (Never the case)
All below Dimbo's Mid price = Sell (Ditto)
All exactly on its Mid price, all delayed trades (as everything dimbo done by its now status) not mm black trades, dark arts or hocus pocus
CHOKES = UNKNOWN
Its as simple and tragic as that, 3rd parties trying to be helpful but FAIL MISERABLY on most shares daily.
Was in CTEA a few years back pre-consolidation , down in the 0.003 range, every single trade for 3 MONTHS, was labelled a sell, around 30 of them
my accumulation buys. If you see a colour code or buy/sell/unk, its a GUESS not a fact, making the stats generated from them worth as much as
used TP.
Only the two parties involved in any TRADE, know the TRUTH, the markets offered the modern Tech fix , to add real data at source, choose Tradition over Tech and why label, when they consider all TRADES to be both a buy and a sell
eg you the buyer via dma/broker from say a market floor trader /mm the seller, or any other combination you can come up with.
Have often bought , at/near bid price and on the other side , sold on/near and on occasion ABOVE the listed ask when a share in vogue, which Barclays likes to boast about by printing on my receipt, you saved or gained X Β£'s on this bargain deal.
