  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  CHK     $0.870    5.03%     8,701,532    36.24%    6,385,541    26.60%    2,315,991    26,621

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar gains (Change) and very 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 CHK with a Net Buy Volume of 2,315,991 shares and a Friction Factor of 26,621 shares. That means that it takes 26,621 more shares of buying than selling to move CHK 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.
