If someone bought at a price then someone else sold at the same price.  Bitstamp matches buy and sell orders to create trades.  Thus each trade consists of a matched buy and sell order (or parts thereof).  Thus your trade doesn't tell you if it was a bid or ask because it's a matched pair.

I won't post again because you ask for help yet you won't take it when it's given...
