For example, the chart above shows MENT with a dollar loss Friday of $-1.18000 and a Friction Factor of -1,862 shares. That means that it only took 1,862 more shares of selling than buying to move MENT 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.
