Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  JVA     $1.350    18.39%    2,336,221    50.53%    2,271,446    49.13%    64,775       480

  GTXI    $0.730    19.26%    372,960      56.76%    283,173      43.10%    89,787       1,230   
  NBG     $0.370    16.52%    1,056,550    36.96%    918,442      32.13%    138,108      3,733   
  ODP     $0.360    19.05%    7,560,390    33.75%    7,396,250    33.02%    164,140      4,559

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 JVA with a dollar gain Wednesday of $1.35000 and a Friction Factor of 480 shares. That means that it only took 480 more shares of buying than selling to move JVA 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.
