So i have this inquiry:

If we take a look at the " Trades" at Ihub chart of any stock, the " BUY" and " SELL" Columns are causing a lot of confusion among investors.

They believe that the " BUY" amount of shares on each trade is an actual Investor " buying shares* and the * SELL" amount of shares on each trade is the number of shares that investors is selling, BUT IT'S THE OPPOSITE!!!

If you take a look at each trade when you wanna buy shares on a stock you are placed on the " BID" side on level II; when you wanna sell your shares you are placed on the " ASK" side; so anytime a BID order is FILLED on a single transaction it shows like a SELL and not as a BUY in Ihub Trade Charts; and anytime an ASK order gets FILLED it shows like is a BUY and not a SELL which is " supossed" to be.

So many people thing that the total number of " BUY" shares is actually the amount of shares purchased by people that day WHEN ACTUALLY is the opposite, causing people to have a misguidance on a stock analysis.

Could someone that KNOWS ABOUT IT confirm that?
