Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction TZOO $2.600 11.97% 318,034 49.51% 313,479 48.80% 4,555 18 OSTK $4.340 37.87% 840,115 52.41% 751,014 46.85% 89,101 205 THRX $4.550 16.24% 4,706,627 54.39% 3,716,437 42.95% 990,190 2,176 ESI $1.490 11.09% 287,963 33.95% 242,510 28.59% 45,453 305 CRME $0.260 13.69% 94,492 59.15% 62,769 39.29% 31,723 1,220 UGAZ $5.300 15.08% 131,158 42.97% 91,890 30.11% 39,268 74 Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and 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 TZOO with a dollar gain Thursday of $2.60000 and a Friction Factor of 18 shares. That means that it only took 18 more shares of buying than selling to move TZOO higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.
