TIP:

The “Ticks” interval means “trades". So a 200 tick chart cuts a new bar every 200 trades regardless of volume or price.

A “Tick Range” chart cuts a new bar based on price. So in a 10 tick range chart every bar would be the same height (10 tick prices).

A “Volume” chart cuts a new bar based on volume.
