     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     REDF       $2.770       24.21%       4,118,360       51.89%       3,698,554       46.60%       419,806         1,516   
     GKK        $0.380       14.50%       344,402         37.34%       272,872         29.58%       71,530          1,882   
     HSTM       $1.360       16.50%       220,515         52.91%       194,261         46.61%       26,254          193     
     KND        $4.320       17.83%       1,311,332       32.35%       1,214,320       29.96%       97,012          225     
     IIVI       $11.100      23.09%       777,813         56.18%       601,054         43.41%       176,759         159     
     PRGX       $1.020       15.29%       274,169         63.58%       156,167         36.21%       118,002         1,157   
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and 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 REDF with a dollar gain Tuesday of $2.77000 and a Friction Factor of 1,516 shares. That means that it only took 1,516 more shares of buying than selling to move REDF higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.
