For example, the chart above shows HMPR with a dollar loss Friday of $-0.88000 and a Friction Factor of -201 shares. That means that it only took 201 more shares of selling than buying to move HMPR 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.
