Nope the reason the market does not label anything is as you say every
TRADE they consider both a buy and a sell, for e.g. you via your broker
the buyer , from a floor trader/ broker the seller.
Most days the books do closely balance , not always, have seen House brokers
having to put out their own Holdings TR1's as being stuck with ever increasing
amounts of shares as a mass dump occurs over weeks , not a day.
Trades are printed live for the most part , only LRGS flagged trades on the real LSE
delayed as they offset, the colours or buy/sell labels are all a waste of space as a
100% guess on all.
Spent 3 months on GUN , year before last, I think it was, not a buy label during
all that time, all trades within the market spread but all below what the guesswork
harry's had as mid price
Around 30 of those were my buys accumulating. Watch the real lse not a mickey mouse
make a guess site like this one and you will see what is really happening.
Any price within the spread could be either, have often bought at around bid price
and even sold , near , at and above the listed ask, on many a share when it's in vogue
and MM's on the hunt to fill BIGGER client orders.
