For example, the chart above shows WMT with a Net Buy Volume of 1,913,794 shares and a Friction Factor of 956,897 shares. That means that it takes 956,897 more shares of buying than selling to move WMT higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Thursday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
