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 AMAT down $-0.19000 with a Friction Factor of -61,422 and a Net Volume of -1,167,025. That means that it takes 61,422 more shares of selling than buying to drop AMAT by one penny.
