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 RAD down $-0.01000 with a Friction Factor of -1,250,992 and a Net Volume of -1,250,992. That means that it takes 1,250,992 more shares of selling than buying to drop RAD by one penny.
