For example, the chart above shows LVLT with a Net Buy Volume of 11,997,129 shares and a Friction Factor of 1,999,522 shares. That means that it takes 1,999,522 more shares of buying than selling to move LVLT 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.
