volume bars (volume of trading between 2 points)

1. Do realize that forex volume is only the count of price changes from your broker?

2. int x1 = ..
   int x2 = ..
   int vol= 0;
   // Assuming x2 > x1
   for (int iBar = x2; iBar >= x1; iBar--) vol += Volume[iBar];

Is it price changes only or is it ticks ? my understanding is that a tick can also be things other than price changes.

Not sure. A tick can be other things, but changing volume without a price change doesn't really make sense.

Even if so, the other parameters don't change very often, so would be minor noise volume. (IBFX averages 50-120 ticks/min. Some brokers double that, some half.)
