Kind of a rough 'quick look' at buy/sell ratio for the day.

I know, for every buy there's a sell and for every sell there's a buy ... but I suppose there is something to be said for whether the transaction takes place at or closer to the bid or ask, especially when these MM's are involved in sub-penny stocks.

From the 'help' for that particular ihub feature:

"The 'Bid' was the price at which a Market Maker was willing to buy the stock.

The 'Offer' was the price at which a Market Maker was willing to sell the stock.

The 'Time' column indicates when the particular trade took place (or at least the time when the report was sent to the Exchange by the broker).

The 'Buy', 'Sell' and '?' columns - Where the 'Price' is closest to the 'Offer' price, the trade is considered a 'Buy'. Where it is closest to the 'Bid' price, the trade is considered to be a 'Sell'. Where it is dead centre between 'Bid' and 'Offer', it appears in the '?' column; this indicates that the trade cannot be identified as either a 'Buy' or a 'Sell'.

The 'Buy %' column is a graphical representation of the ratio of Buy : Sell : ?

The 'T.Buy', 'T.Sell' and 'T.?' columns represent a daily running total of quantities for each type of trade."
