Intraday momentum and mean reversion
5-minute bars are the common default for day-trading research: enough detail to time entries, little enough noise to see the trend.
VWAP and volume-profile work
Each bar carries the summed volume of its five minutes, so session volume curves and VWAP benchmarks come straight out of it.
Multi-year intraday backtests
A year of 5-minute bars is about 19,700 regular-session rows per stock, so decades across thousands of stocks stay manageable.
Charting and features for models
A standard bar size for technical indicators and for features fed into machine-learning models.

How the bars are built
Every intraday bar is built from FinzData's 1-minute record. Bars are aligned to the clock and stamped at the start of the interval in US Eastern time. Open is the first minute's open, close the last minute's close, high and low the extremes, volume the sum. Minutes with no trades are left out, never forward-filled. Sessions: pre-market 4:00 to 9:30, regular 9:30 to 4:00, after-hours 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Prices are stored as traded; ask for split- and dividend-adjusted prices with adjust="all".
Plans
1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute and 30-minute bars come with the 25-year ($575), 30-year ($670) and Institutional ($975) history bundles, or for a single stock from $19 in the shop. Tick-level trades come with Institutional.
