It's my understanding that in the e-mini futures, the S&P for example, for each buyer there is an equal seller(s) and vice versa. However, whenever I look at the tape and see a buyer at say 1390.50, I do not see the equal seller going through at the same price.
The tape only shows that a trade happened, for there to be a buyer there must have been a seller. If you are referring to it being coloured red or green that just indicates that it was executed at the bid or ask.
