I think the way something like that 'trades' graphic ....

.... differentiates between a 'sell' and a 'buy' is simply whether the executed trade was closer to the bid or the ask.

If the trade was closer to or at the bid, then it would seem that the seller was more 'motivated' and flexible about the price , and if closer to the ask it would seem the buyer was more motivated and willing to pay more.

Of course I keep hearing that in these otcbb stocks , particularly the real cheapies like we are now , all trades at the bid are 'retails' selling to the MM's (who must be 'buying lol) , and all trades at the ask are 'retails' buying from the MM's.
