Tick volume signals: what do you actually read from them?

Tick volume counts price changes, not traded volume, but it still carries information: activity spikes around news and breakouts, and trends fade on falling ticks. The art is knowing what the proxy can and can't say.

How do you use it?

• the signals you derive from tick volume
• how you combine it with price structure
• the false signal it gave you
