Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Friday and low price friction (bullish).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     ALTI       $0.160       18.71%       118,506         57.00%       89,399          43.00%       29,107          1,819   
     AMAC       $2.710       47.63%       1,119,004       47.71%       1,068,474       45.55%       50,530          186     
     DRAM       $0.410       38.68%       95,576          74.94%       31,965          25.06%       63,611          1,551   
     HGIC       $6.670       26.33%       537,630         48.73%       530,378         48.07%       7,252           11      
     MNKD       $0.760       23.90%       1,363,670       60.15%       878,787         38.76%       484,883         6,380   
     ADES       $4.260       31.56%       80,443          58.44%       54,702          39.74%       25,741          60      
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and 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 ALTI with a dollar gain Friday of $0.16000 and a Friction Factor of 1,819 shares. That means that it only took 1,819 more shares of buying than selling to move ALTI higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.
