Look, your entire methodology is all wet. When a "trade" comes across there is no objective way to label it a "buy" or "sell" -- it is both. Whether it occurs at the "bid" or the "ask", well that gives you a little more info, but still there's a buyer and seller on both ends of the trade. Lastly, if the stock goes up after a "sell" and goes down after a "buy" you've probably mislabeled the trade, which appears to be the case with your top ten list of today on this and the AMAT thread.

Why don't you list the top ten volume trades and state whether they occured at the bid or ask and whether the stock went up or down after the trade? This would be borderline useful.
