I think what he was implying is that you have the tick volume throughout
the day, giving you a feel for the info. It is certainly a guide that
works well using market profile (not that i am a market profile kinda
guy). You do get volume though by the open the next day usually, so it
is not such a bad lag as ticks are usually a pretty good relative guide.
