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 FTWR with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.15000 and a Friction Factor of -12,033 shares.

The combination of low friction and negative market direction can drive prices lower faster than normal.
