The tick volume is not really similar to the price volatility, as it normally only counts the price changes, but not the price range. You could maybe say that it is similar to the noise of the volatility.

In any case it depends on how the broker counts price changes - 4 or 5 digits - and which liquidity providers are used. So it does not reflect the market, like price or volume, but the traffic on the broker's server. It's hard to see how that could be used for a trade system.
