Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  ACUR    $1.030    42.04%    5,059,110    50.09%    4,997,775    49.48%    61,335       595     
  STXS    $0.230    16.79%    103,322      75.89%    32,830       24.11%    70,492       3,065   
  COOL    $0.260    29.04%    767,752      55.29%    620,929      44.71%    146,823      5,647   
  SOMX    $1.180    80.27%    1,128,369    50.74%    1,092,291    49.11%    36,078       306     
  ESYS    $0.790    23.17%    74,651       54.52%    61,969       45.26%    12,682       161     
  BGMD    $2.170    163.16%   4,620,642    50.96%    4,437,543    48.94%    183,099      844     
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 ACUR with a dollar gain Tuesday of $1.03000 and a Friction Factor of 595 shares. That means that it only took 595 more shares of buying than selling to move ACUR 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.
