Hi

What does Volume study represent on TICK chart? If tick is calculated as "No. of Up ticks - No. of Down Ticks" one would think the chart represents volume itself, unless there is actual number of transactions in the data per each bar.

Also, what does UpTickVolume & DownTickVolume studies represent on TICK index chart? Lets assume I have these indicators on 1 min TICK-NYSE chart, can anybody explain what sort of data is used in the calculations of the studies?

I cannot find meaningful explanation what sort of data is available for TICK-* symbol.

Thank you.

Also, what does UpTickVolume & DownTickVolume studies represent on TICK index chart?
Refer to the documentation for these studies, they do exactly what the documentation says. They have no special behavior on the TICK symbol.
