For example, the chart above shows IWEB with a Net Buy Volume of 805,949 shares and a Friction Factor of 644,759 shares. That means that it takes 644,759 more shares of buying than selling to move IWEB higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Thursday (lower friction).
