  CHTP    $-0.610   -31.28%   2,722,510    49.84%    2,740,243    50.16%    -17,733      -291

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar losses (Change) and extremely low price friction in their stocks. 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 SMI with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.24000 and a Friction Factor of -4,124 shares. That means that it only took 4,124 more shares of selling than buying to move SMI lower by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to drop quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and negative market direction can drive prices lower faster than normal.
