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 HRZ with a dollar loss Wednesday of $-0.33000 and a Friction Factor of -22,535 shares. That means that it only took 22,535 more shares of selling than buying to move HRZ 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.
