  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  DCTH    $-0.120   -0.09%    445,128      34.51%    499,158      38.70%    -54,030      -4,503

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar losses (Change) and extremely 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 DCTH with a dollar loss Tuesday of $-0.12000 and a Friction Factor of -4,503 shares. That means that it only took 4,503 more shares of selling than buying to move DCTH lower by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to drop quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and negative market direction can drive prices lower faster than normal.
