  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  BAC     $0.010    0.00%     28,440,875   34.03%    25,771,367   30.83%    2,669,508    2,669,508

For example, the chart above shows BAC with a Net Buy Volume of 2,669,508 shares and a Friction Factor of 2,669,508 shares. That means that it takes 2,669,508 more shares of buying than selling to move BAC higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Wednesday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
