I use e-trade, anyone know how exactly I go about seeing if the last trade was a buy or a sell and how many shares were traded on the buy or sell?

It tells me how many shares were traded and I can sort of assume that if the price went up then the trade must have been a "buy"... Is that right?

I also use etrade, download their trading platform called Etrade Pro, it has interactive charts all the indicators and free level II quotes, on the level II screen their is time and sale, which will show buys, sells, what time they occured and how many shares.

Grande, if you want to know whether a trade is a buy or a sell, you have to open a level two window and a last sale window.. Watch both.. Trades at the ask are buys, trades at the bid are sells. That's about the only way I know of.
