The tick volume is just the sum of the ticks for a given time frame. In the active market you will have a lot of ticks and as a result high level of tick volume and in a quite market on the contrary.

I don't think you can use it as indicator of direction price movement.

Hi Sharehunter,

Real volume information is now available in the currency market. In the 1-minute chart below, you can see how forex volume surged during the FOMC announcement yesterday.
