See all shares sold within one day

I am an investor who believes in fundamental analysis principles.  I like to analyse a company and look at its long term prospects using techniques I learnt about at university.
However, I am always intrigued by technical analysis and short term gains.  I came across the following webpage: https://www.londonstockexchange.com/stock/OPM/1pm-plc/trade-recap (in this case for OPM).  If I select show last: all for today, then does that show every single share that was sold for this company today?

Trades can be conductly privately.

But surely they still have to be reported?

No requirement to report the transaction to an exchange. Though certain caveats do apply with regards to the individual concerned /  % of stock held in the Company.

It’s technically anyone’s guess if a reported trade was a sell or buy transaction, any websites that state if its a buy or sell trade is guesstimating that from the price the trade took place at.

The big players who want to buy/sell large amount will either do a private transaction or enter it on the dark pool, neither of which will appear on the trade list. This is to to serve a number of purposes, sometimes to prevent the share price moving against them too much and sometimes to get any transaction private from the general public. Until they have declare at 5% ownership rules. So

I have heard of ECNs (Electronic Communications Network) e.g. BATS (which I believe is US based).  If shares are sold on these ATSs (Alternative Trading Systems), then is LSE oblivious to it? I understand there are scenarios were you must report regulatory information to LSE.

I understand the concept of a dark pool, which helps institutional investors buy/sell shares without affecting liquidity.  Do dark pools eventually report to LSE i.e. after the trade has taken place? Do ECNs have to do this?

My broker (where I currently have a paper account) is telling me that I can purchase market data for LSE (London Stock Exchange).  I have done this on a trial account and I see a wealth of data i.e. candlesticks.  Where is this information pulled from if LSE is not aware of all transactions?

HL used to have sales/purchases on their web site, but I see it’s disappeared recently.

It'll just be whatever's reported to the LSE. The dark exchanges use the LSE's prices as a benchmark and won't vary much from it. "Candlesticks" is just a type of chart constructed from the available trade data. There's nothing special about one.
