Apologies if it is silly for you, but I'm really confused and wasted too much time because of this.

For example below is 250 volume bars, red and green bar have particular L, H, O, C prices and they're colored red and green for reference:

Then I opened tick chart of the same symbol with Study/Price Overlay study to mark ticks that build the 250 volume bars from first chart:

And they don't match.
Depending on the speed of market there can be a difference from 1 to even dozen ticks.

What causes this?

Unless you have the option for Chart >> Chart Settings >> Advanced Settings >> Split Data Records disabled, then you are going to get different results.

This is due to the fact that the volume is being split at 250 per bar, whereas the sum of the ticks that make up the Tick chart may not sum to a perfect 250.

Refer to the information here:
Chart Settings: Split Data Records (applies to Number of Trades, Volume and Range charts) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data >> Chart Data menu)
