  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  ATPG    $0.240    17.14%    2,843,462    55.37%    2,291,733    44.63%    551,729      22,989

  KIPS    $0.150    16.48%    87,464       76.17%    27,361       23.83%    60,103       4,007

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and 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 ATPG with a dollar gain Monday of $0.24000 and a Friction Factor of 22,989 shares. That means that it only took 22,989 more shares of buying than selling to move ATPG 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.
