I'm not a Day Trader myself, but as long as I'm here I'll toss in my 2 cents (g), I don't think you can SAY with just the info you've presented. . Trades in the MIDDLE can be EITHER a buy a sell or an interdealer transfer. . Trades at the BID are not necessarily a SELL. They can be a BUY (I buy at the Bid myself, for instance, by having a broker go in the box as Principle on my behalf) or they might be an interdealer transfer. . Somtimes what APPEARS to be a sale at the BID, say $5 1/32 is really 5 5/128 which was a cross trade, but since many Quote suppliers do not SHOW 128ths or 256ths they ROUND and it appears different! .
