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 LVLT with a Net Buy Volume of 1,463,788 shares and a Friction Factor of 18,529 shares. That means that it takes 18,529 more shares of buying than selling to move LVLT higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Wednesday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
