BF,

That is no rumor. Globex destroyed the constant ticks by aggregating the transactions but that isn't the case with volume bars. they break the transactions down to their smallest increment (shares or contracts) before they build the bar. This is why capped volume bar charts ar far superior.

Totally agree. I only use volume bars as the represent the purest price action.

The red color represents something cheerful/positive/youthful in Chinese culture, a bride always wears a red suit on wedding ceremony. If the close of a bar is higher than the open, we call it a "male bar/ positive bar", hence it is red, if the close of a bar is lower than the open, we call it a "female bar/negative bar" , it is something related to green here.

Culture difference exists everywhere, I still remember the first time I stepped out of the Sydney airport, I was quite surprised that your cars drive on the left side of the road.
