Max, if you are going to invest your hard earned you should spend some time researching how the markets work.
Whether a trade is a buy or sell is never disclosed, LSE rules. What you see are computer generated guesses based on the mid price at the time the trade is disclosed. They are often so innaccurate that they are best ignored.
Very basically, share price is determined by supply and demand.
Mid price is just that, the price between the Bid, (what you sell at) and the Ask(what you buy at).
So Bid is 180p, mid price(or share price) is 182.5p, Ask is 185p
Share price and trade price will never be the same.
