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 TZOO with a dollar gain Wednesday of $6.08000 and a Friction Factor of 184 shares. That means that it only took 184 more shares of buying than selling to move TZOO 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.
