this a sample of DIA from 9/3/2014, time is UTC so 13:48 = 09:30 est time and i am connected through IQfeed

Date   Time   Open   High   Low   Last  Volume  # T Bid Volume  Ask Volume
03/09/2014  13:43:20  0  171.29  171.28  171.28  354  1  354  0
03/09/2014  13:43:20  0  171.29  171.28  171.28  200  1  200  0

on the 1st section the last print on the 4th line is 171.29 which is below the bid and ask (which are the same) and yet the trade is marked on the ask side.

on the 2nd section, on the 2nd line, the print of the last trade is 171.42 and it's marked as an ASK volume
the problem is on the 3rd line the high is below the low + the trade which is at 171.4 marked as Ask volume which is wrong.

pls explain the "rul" which marks the trades as per ask or bid volume

thanks!
