Colour codes and buy, sell, unknown are NOTHING to do with the MM's or Market, the worlds markets do not label anything, just print TRADES
they consider as all being both a buy and sell, so why label, eg you the buyer via dma/broker from another broker/mm market floor trader.
The 3rd party sites like this one , all rehash the original Stock Exchange TRADE and trying to be helpful, ADD a BEST GUESS label or colour code.
All based on its DIMBO ALGO and IT'S NOW STATUS, no matter when placed.
All above ITS mid price = BUY-----------------------never the case
All below ITS mid price = SELL----------------------ditto
All exactly on ITS mid price, all delayed trades or anything Dimbo sees as outside of its now status RANGE = chokes = UNKNOWN
It's as simple and tragic as that, markets offered the simple modern day tech fix, to apply real time data at source, declined choosing
TRADITION over tech........so in that respect, Mr Market quite happy for others to confuse the issue.
As said done by 3rd party sites trying to be helpful BUT failing miserably on most shares daily, so when you hear a cry on a board by an
unresearched poster, we have 6 , 8, 10 times the buys to sells and have not moved, its because in reality trading is pretty even and Dimbo
is having a really bad GUESSING day at the office.......GLALTH
How they look on the real LSE, before the 3rd party sites add a GUESS, making the stats/ratio's as useful as a chocolate tea pot, as all 100%
guesswork compiled.
