Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction AMAT $0.120 1.05% 20,876,990 66.67% 10,222,095 32.64% 10,654,895 887,908 BSX $0.010 0.17% 7,456,932 43.98% 3,793,651 22.38% 3,663,281 3,663,281 PVR $0.110 0.43% 5,093,821 71.38% 844,103 11.83% 4,249,718 386,338 TLAB $0.060 1.74% 7,766,553 66.43% 3,534,884 30.24% 4,231,669 705,278 HOV $0.620 10.11% 17,897,486 40.78% 5,643,376 12.86% 12,254,110 197,647 F $0.090 0.76% 32,500,105 35.26% 20,916,381 22.69% 11,583,724 1,287,080 Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar gains (Change) and very 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 AMAT with a Net Buy Volume of 10,654,895 shares and a Friction Factor of 887,908 shares. That means that it takes 887,908 more shares of buying than selling to move AMAT higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Friday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
