Cdax its pretty easy. use the accounts summery. There you get all. Also u can use portfolio valuation. there u can see 24 hours transactions.

By the way i am soooo surprised about ur question. You started online trading without knowing these ?? better u talk to ur broker and get familiar with at least common features before burning ur fingers.

I dont think he understand over bought or over sold.. He seems to know what he bought and what he sold at what price including the tax..

Lets see his comment on this.. At least a thank should come if his question has been addressed or he might re inquire if that is not what he expected..

lol

In DirectFN right click on a counter n click 'time and sale' and this will show all the transactions for the day n it will say its a buy or sell transaction. This is not possible with CDAX. CDAX just shows all the transaction but does not indicate if its a buy or sell.

I m Sorry dear experts. I was away from the forum due to an unavoidable reason and I m very new to CSE. Thanks a lot for u r comments.

If I simply say my question, there are sellers and buyers in order book.

Suppose X and Y want to buy Qty of 1000 ABCD company shares.

X put an order value of Rs 120/= and he is on the top of the buying side. after some times a someone sell 1000 shares to him. Now he has fulfill his requirement.

Y buy same Qty same shares without without placing an order book. Now lowest seller is Rs 135/= .

Now Y has purchased and X has received.

Rs 120 transaction is a sell
Rs 135 transaction is a buy

How I identify these transactions.

Mr aladin I m not in Srilanka now. So its difficult to contact my broker though u suggested. Also I can find the required details what you mentioned. Thank you

Chamith thank you thats what I asked. Also i have an account in capital-trust. Can i use it 4 my purpose or tell me the easiest way,

Getting what you wanted is not possible.

What you have imagined is a practical scenario.

----------------------------------

Now Y has purchased and X has received.

Rs 120 transaction is a sell
Rs 135 transaction is a buy
How do you identify this ?
---------------------------------------------

As per your eg. X put a Buy order to buy 1000 shares @ 120

then some one has to put a sell order to sell @ 120 to do the business.
As his sell matches the buy price in the order book, the transaction triggered.

120 go as the current trading price

Now next selling price 135 goes to top of the order book.

Then, to satisfy your scenario, some one has to put a buy order @ 135 to buy it.

It is called matching. You match the selling price in the book ( 135) to buy it. (last time you match the buying price to sell instantly)

Actually the buy order also goes to the order book, but as it is matching the selling price , the transaction is created instantly.

There is no indicator in any place to know who matched what , sell or buy.

Now 135 is indicated as the current trading price.

I agree that your argument ,
"Rs 120 transaction is a sell
Rs 135 transaction is a buy" has a meaning but
is not a correct way of naming and no way to monitor in stock trading.

You can say 120 is selling by matching the buy order in the order book and
135 is buying by matching the sell order in the order book.

Simply if a buyer goes to the asking price it is a BUY
if a seller goes for the bidding price it is a SELL

actually DFN provide this information.
right click on a symbol -> Select time & Sale
