I notice that axon are down by 4% today, but when I recently checked trades made today, 82,000 shares have been bought and 32,000 sold. Admittedly this reverses almost opposite buying and selling patterns from yesterday. Is there any logical reason for the share price fall?

gallick - a while back someone asked a simular question about another share on the ASK a trading question thread. This link will take you to the posts.

Thanks for that little woman - but your point raises more questions than answers, for a novice like me. If all trades are matched, how come the buys and sells are different ...shouldn't they be the same? If they were the same clearly there would be no point in looking at them - or would there? Are you suggesting that there is first mover advantage (ie first person sells...price is going to go down)? Have I got buy and sell backwards?
