Again, it doesn't show as a buy. It shows a trade at the Ask which is only interpreted by investors as a 'buy'.

If the trade happened @ ask price, it shows as a buy.
If the trade happened @ bid price, it shows as a sell.

I assume what is meant by "shows as a buy" and "shows as a sell" means that is is colored green or red. But that only means it went at the Ask or at the Bid on most systems. Some quote systems only use colors to distinguish movement of the price, green up, red down and white no change.

My posted comments are only my considered opinion based on the reality as I see it. Your reality may be different.
