newbie: difference between ticks and bar

[Deleted]  

On a one hour chart displaying candlesticks for a particular currency symbol..

how many ticks make one bar?? i.e. between previous bar and current bar how many ticks can one anticipate?

Ticks are activity based, not time based. If nobody makes a trade, then there will be no change in price = no ticks.
