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 MO with 1,104,374 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.24000.
