It confuses everyone the first time they see that. Someone else can probably explain it better than me but here's what I understand:

There is always a buyer and a seller for every trade. If the buy goes through at the ask(bullish) they list in the buy column. If it goes through at the bid, they list it in the sell column. If it goes through in between the bid and ask it gets dumped in the ? column.

You'll hear people say, " all buys today" or "all sells today". What they are really saying is all trades at ask or bid today.
