Buy-sell volume issue

I posted this on the CTGI board: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=31473273

ADVFN buy-sell volume needs work. Today's trading reported as 27,460 buy volume, 27,837 sell volume, 25,200 unknown.

The sell number includes that 21,886 share block bought at 1.15. (Trading page shows bid at 1.15. I was watching Level II at the time, bid was raised after that trade.) And the "unknown" trades were all at the ask.

So the correct numbers appear to be:
Buy volume: 74,546
Sell volume: 5951

A rather different picture!
