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 GE down $-0.08000 with a Friction Factor of -558,392 and a Net Volume of -4,467,139. That means that it takes 558,392 more shares of selling than buying to drop GE by one penny.
