Hi there,
I'll try to answer your questions from a technical aspect:
- Building 600 tick bars is something that can be done but in particular way: You won't be able to call previous tick bars as you'll need to implement tick counter within your strategy itself so your tick bars calculation starts at the moment when the strategy is launched. You can easily set up a trigger time to make your strategy aligned with the market tick bar calculation so that you'll get the same OHLC. There is a method in the user guide available from the platform.
- Once the above done, any built-in indicator to be used must have a candle period. If you plug an indicator with let's say 10 sec period to onTick method you'll get the value of your indicator 10 sec based
BUT the same value is retrieved every tick. in other words it's refreshed every tick with the same output till a new 10 sec candle starts. So indicators tick based must be recalculated as well considering the output of the above explained tick bars.

So why in setting-preferences-price based chart DAX if you choose 200 ticks for candle the volume of all the candles are 2.
I don't your question, when you set up 600 tickbars, there are plenty of candles and their volume varies as well (please activate OHLC widget in JForex and check the traded volume):
