For example, the chart above shows CMCSA with a Net Buy Volume of 951,067 shares and a Friction Factor of 36,580 shares. That means that it takes 36,580 more shares of buying than selling to move CMCSA higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Friday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
