Quote from asiaprop:

How do you know that the high after 10:02 of 25.20 was part of the first 100k shares and did not trade in the remaining 10k shares?



This statement is correct, and is why the divergence betwen bars constructed on tick and minute data would be larger for smaller volumes used in each bar. The larger the volume used in each bar, the less of a concern, e.g. say each minute is on average 1/60th of the CBV - and it is only a concern when the last minute is right at the high or low of the bar.

Regarding your other points, you are entitled to your opinions.

Ensign software has what is called range bars also referred to as breakout bars and it sounds the most like what you are talking about. These bars will build based on market movement to fill a range specified. For example a 10 range bar will complete when the market has moved in either direction, so there could be 100 ticks but the need to cover a range of 10 before the next bar can be built. These are great to be able to see a trend starting and you can know the price range at which a bar will close.
