RE: Buy or Sell19 Dec 2017 17:32
It’s registered as a sell as it is software that registers it as a buy or sell rather than a broker. The software looks at the bid/sell price at the time, looks at your trade price, works out automatically if it is closer to bid or sell, and posts appropriately. You bought in a rising market so it is unavoidable that the price you bought at ended up as looking as a sell price by the time the brokerage had processed everything. There are a lot of conspiracy theories by quite new PIs about market makers manipulating the price. If I were you, I’d steer clear otherwise you mark yourself out as a bit of a pranny.
