     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     MS         $0.300       1.27%        5,458,822       33.25%       4,262,862       25.96%       1,195,960       39,865  
     SONE       $2.130       29.87%       18,942,182      56.73%       14,370,831      43.04%       4,571,351       21,462  
     HBAN       $0.020       0.40%        9,521,101       63.69%       5,434,171       36.35%       4,086,930       2,043,465
     GLW        $0.170       1.01%        8,423,306       36.49%       6,362,996       27.57%       2,060,310       121,195

     ALU        $0.090       1.75%        9,735,264       37.87%       6,856,879       26.67%       2,878,385       319,821 
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar gains (Change) and very 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 MS with a Net Buy Volume of 1,195,960 shares and a Friction Factor of 39,865 shares. That means that it takes 39,865 more shares of buying than selling to move MS higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Tuesday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
