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 JVA with a dollar loss Wednesday of $-2.91000 and a Friction Factor of -854 shares.
