Tick Volume

 

Hi there,

What is the Tick Volume of each bar on the chart ? Does that mean

- Trades volume (in $) per bar

-Trades volume (in number of transaction) per bar

- or anything else ?


Is it a broker specific parameter?


Would appreciate any hint.

Thanks

It counts the tick of each bar. Yes its broker based

What is the tick of each bar then ?

It is not equal to the number of times the OnTick function is called. I just tested.

So Could you explain your answer more. thanks

Volume, in the context you are asking, is also known as Ticks. One Tick is a change in either Bid or Ask price. For example, if a 1 hour candle/bar has a volume of 6000, there has been a change of Bid or Ask price 6000 times within that period.

Great,


So the Tick volume is the number of times Bid or Ask prices have been changed within a candle, while OnTick function is called only when the Last price has been changed in the candle!

Thats' why the two numbers are different ?!

it makes sense, thank you

That's not exact.
