A Tick Chart draws a new bar after a set number of trades, for example after every 500 trades.It measures the number of stock issues trading on an uptick versus a downtick. A Tick, by contrast, is just a trade and 1 Tick = 1 trade. I much prefer Tick Charts over conventional, time-based charts.

All futures contracts have a minimum price fluctuation also known as a tick. Tick sizes are set by the exchange and vary by contract instrument. The tick price of a NYMEX WTI Crude Oil contract is equal to one tenth of a point, and since a point is valued at $1000, the tick price is $10.

A tick is a measure of the minimum upward or downward movement in the price of a security. A tick can also refer to the change in the price of a security from one trade to the next trade. Since 2001 and the advent of decimalization, the minimum tick size for stocks trading above $1 is one cent.

A point is composed of ticks, which are the price movements that occur on the right side of the decimal when looking at the price of a futures contract.
