For example, the chart above shows MO with a Net Buy Volume of 3,060,742 shares and a Friction Factor of 218,624 shares. That means that it takes 218,624 more shares of buying than selling to move MO 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.
