OK, savvy market people, I have a mystery I cannot figure out.

Probably like most of you, I look at the Tools / Data Tools / Trades chart daily to make sense out of the trading to track the PPS pricing and volume and deduce what's happening.

Well, I increased my position today by 1.9M and cannot figure out why when I look at "Trades" on IHub the transactions do not make sense in how they are recorded (BUY vs SELL). I have screen shots for you so you don't think I'm crazy. You can correlate the time stamps between my brokerage report and the IHub Trades report.

The first 2 screen shots are taken off my brokerage account.
Screen Shot 1 - the summary report of my 2 orders after execution (first one for 1M at one price, the second one for 900K at a better price).
Order Summary

Screen Shot 2 - the record of the actual execution of the orders. Note the 900K order was filled over several transactions (which is okay as far as I am concerned).
Actual Brokerage Trades Alerts

The second 2 screen shots are taken off the Trades chart on IHub. See how all but 1 of the transactions was recorded in the SELL column, with the last one (remaining 1418 shares) appearing in the BUY column.

Screen Shot 3 - the 1M order fill (note it is in the SELL column). BUT, not only is it in the SELL column, it is mixed with someone else's order (it is 168,452 shares larger than my order. It is the only 1M order at that time).
1M transaction

Screen Shot 4 - the 900K fills (note they are in the SELL column except last one is in the BUY column)
900K transaction

Why does the chart show my BUYs in the SELL column, except the last one? Shouldn't they all be in the BUY column? Does this mean I should really be realizing all the SELL trades on the iHub report are BUYS? This is not the first time I have found my BUYs recorded in the SELL column. I have made many other BUYs which showed up in the BUY column.

Signed,
Confused
