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 CMCSA with 1,004,407 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.09000.
