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 BAC down $-0.12000 with a Friction Factor of -289,002 and a Net Volume of -3,468,029. That means that it takes 289,002 more shares of selling than buying to drop BAC by one penny.
