volume per bar
chart bars based upon a specified amount of trading volume

trades per bar
This sets the number of trades or ticks per bar.
Chart Settings: Intraday Chart Bar Period >> Bar Period Type >> Volume Per Bar (Chart >> Chart Settings menu)


Isnt vol=to amount traded?
Very simplified: Trade is a transaction, volume is the size of content (the amount of an asset). The volume is always equal to or greater than the trades.
For example: You can buy / sell several contracts (volume) in one transaction (trade).
