Hello ballboy11,

The Time & Sales window will color each market data update depending on if the price is an ask price above the ask, below the ask, or at the ask, or the price is a bid price above the bid, below the bid, or at the bid.

Many traders refer to the ask as the buy and the bid as the sell (because you would buy at what others are asking, and you would sell based on what others are bidding).

Below are public links to the help guide on the Time & Sales window.
