5 hours Time&Sales 10-3: March of the little people

Have spent quite a few hours charting 2/3 of yesterday's volume.
Gosh, I hope this chart pastes ok. I can email you if you're interested and it doesn't format well.

Very instructive. Very few large blocks after 10 and before 3pm.
Someone got screwed on a sell out at 4.8125. Stock was never really below 4 7/8. Actually jumped 7/8 in about 5 minutes at 1:25 EDT.

Chart is set up to look at number of entries per 100,000 shares traded.
I did not try to screen out double reporting.
Wanted to see what was behind the free fall there for a while.
Seems like market makers took out everybody's stops between 6.5 and 4 7/8, but buying or short covering reversed the action in a big way.

Anyone who cares to add to the discussion to help me understand market behavior is welcome. I was quite surprised to find that most of the volume was at 1000 shares or less.
