For example, the chart above shows HAFC with a Net Buy Volume of 10,619,877 shares and a Friction Factor of 1,179,986 shares. That means that it takes 1,179,986 more shares of buying than selling to move HAFC 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.
