Marriage deals can simply be off-market transaction between two traders, reps, brokers etc. And as always, things can be the opposite of what you perceive, as what you saw is only 20% truth, the other 80% is what your mind tells you... Cheers!

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Hi Jerome, an "S" means a trade was done on a sellers queue, and a "B" is the reverse; a trade done on the buyers queue.  In any B or S transaction, there is always a buyer and a seller.  Your question about the 74 lots done therefore means that someone had taken up a seller's offer of 0.450 with 74 lots.  The seller had sold 74 lots, and the buyer had taken up 74 lots.  In this case, the buyer was aggressive and took up the seller's offer.  I hope this makes some sense.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	erm, could someone explain how to decipher the time and sales feature available in so many trading platforms? e.g  Time Last Vol(K) Buy/Sell 17:05:03 0.455 30,000 B 16:59:23 0.455 10,000 S 16:58:46 0.455 9,000 B 16:54:14 0.455 1,000 S 16:36:36 0.435 60,000 S 16:35:10 0.435 20,000 S 16:31:45 0.440 20,000 B 16:31:12 0.440 30,000 B 16:27:19 0.445 20,000 B 16:27:11 0.445 10,000 S 16:26:42 0.445 20,000 B 16:20:42 0.450 20,000 B 15:51:06 0.450 10,000 S 14:56:08 0.450 74,000 S 09:01:48 0.453 400,000 X why is it that there is a sell at 14:56:08 but no one buy? Or is this the actual sale where 74lots was sold? if so, then why not put 74lot bought also?

x 1   x 0  Alert Admin	The buy volume and sell volume are point data only.  This means that at that POINT in time, there are a certain number of lots put up for sale or for buying. The numbers are not cumulative.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	The buy sell trade vol summary tells you what's the vol that hit at the buy price and sell price. End of the day all transactions add up to the total vol exchanged hand (hence buyer=seller)
