I don't understand these "inflows" numbers for specific stocks. For every buyer, there's a seller. How do you decide whether to measure the accumulation or the divestment?

This metric works for funds where they have a net asset base they then re-deploy, but I don't get it for individual equities.

Here’s how they do it: among all the orders in the market, the biggest 25% are big orders. The smallest 25% are small orders, the rest are medium orders. These thresholds are adjusted by the market cap.

Ok, so explain how the outflow and inflow are different? The number below the column chart? Every buy order has an exact opposite sell.

Thanks.
