For example, the chart above shows AEE with a Net Buy Volume of 3,740,642 shares and a Friction Factor of 124,688 shares. That means that it takes 124,688 more shares of buying than selling to move AEE higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Thursday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
