Re: [ANN] KRAKEN.COM - Exchange with USD EUR GBP JPY CAD BTC LTC XRP NMC XDG STR ETH
trade.kraken.com does not correctly determine buy or sell trade.
On the screen you can see that trade.kraken.com shows trade as a "sell" one, but in fact it was "buy" one - kraken.com view.
One more proof: this order was in "selling" order book, so it should be determined as a "buy"one.

@Dargo, can you fix this? : )
Deleted my earlier response - I will look into this because I think you may be right. It looks like "buy" and "sell" in Recent Trades is referring to the what the maker order was when it would probably make more sense for it to indicate what the taker order was.
Edit: taking 3 tries to understand your point.
You are saying that Recent Trades is correctly showing it as a buy because it was from an order on the sell side getting hit (so buy order would have been taker). But trade.kraken seems to be doing the opposite (incorrect). I think the answer is that green/red on trade.kraken don't mean buy/sell. Instead green means higher than last price and red means lower (and color doesn't change if price is the same as last price).
