Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     CVVT       $-1.690      -19.38%      1,589,831       36.29%       2,757,268       62.94%       -1,167,437      -6,908  
     YMI        $-0.390      -14.77%      1,439,193       37.06%       2,101,067       54.11%       -661,874        -16,971 
     LOOK       $-0.260      -13.20%      276,800         39.70%       366,482         52.57%       -89,682         -3,449  
     CSTR       $-17.680     -30.89%      1,192,302       46.09%       1,380,920       53.38%       -188,618        -107    
     PVCT       $-0.170      -15.74%      457,374         41.64%       609,939         55.53%       -152,565        -8,974  
     ECPN       $-0.230      -19.17%      548,386         32.87%       884,826         53.04%       -336,440        -14,628 

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar losses (Change) and extremely low price friction in their stocks. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.

For example, the chart above shows ECPN with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.23000 and a Friction Factor of -14,628 shares. That means that it only took 14,628 more shares of selling than buying to move ECPN lower by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to drop quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and negative market direction can drive prices lower faster than normal.
