TDameritrade charts show funny stuff with huge volumes.

Today, I noticed the chart said that an order had been placed for 1.515 million shares. I watched last sale to see if it would show up and it never did in the full amount, although it did show up as a 15,000 share order. Same thing happened several times last week when tous.pk was trading at .22

My guess is that the partial fills first show up on the chart for the full amount of the order and then when the buyer withdraws the remaining part of the order, the large volume disappears and only shows what was filled.

That would make sense for the pinksheet stocks as they are somewhat disassociated from electronic trading. But I'd have to have access to a pinksheet level II to verify what I'm seeing and I don't.
