What is the primary difference between 'Contract Volume' and 'Tick Volume'?
- Contract volume measures how much time price spent resting at a level.

- Tick volume is reported only in futures markets, while contract volume drives Forex.
- Contract volume counts units traded; tick volume counts transaction events.
