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 VPHM with a dollar gain Wednesday of $4.21000 and a Friction Factor of 18 shares. That means that it only took 18 more shares of buying than selling to move VPHM 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.
