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 BEXP down $-0.03000 with a Friction Factor of -392,011 and a Net Volume of -1,176,034.
