I've looked at a few stocks on http://stocknessmonster.com/ and it will display the days trades, but how can you tell whether they are buys or sells? ..is there a site out there that will give you this info?
they are transactions between a buyer and a seller.
when ever some one sells shares someone buys them
in the case of stockness monster which i refer to regularly
the red minus sign generally means someone has sold at market - or to the first person in the buying queue
so effectively he has wanted out at what ever price is current
the green plus minus sign means someone has bought at market - or has bought shares off the person that is first in the sell depth queue
basically if there are large transactions going thru with a green plus sign this means people want in Now and there happy to pay whatever to get the stock
if there are large transactions groing thru with a red minus sign this means people want to sell the shares now and happy to sell them to the highest bidder
in the attached image you'll see at 1 pm today some one accumulated 2.1 million shares thats good i'm my books
cheesr whitta
aha - of course, there can't be a buy without a sell *slaps forehead*. Thanks for the help.
That 1pm sale you mentioned, even though 2.1 million shares went through, it says 36 trades where involved... so does that mean there were 36 people involved, not just the one person picking up 2.1million? So on average, each trade was only 56,000 in volume?

Good question. I've been looking at Stockness and wondered about that too. Is there any way to determine whether there was 1 seller and 36 buyers, or at the other extreme 36 sellers and one buyer, or something in between, for example 4 sellers and 9 buyers, 3 sellers 12 buyers, etc.?
