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 MTG down $-0.03000 with a Friction Factor of -566,099 and a Net Volume of -1,698,297. That means that it takes 566,099 more shares of selling than buying to drop MTG by one penny.
