  1. If I have a bunch of 1 minute data, what is the formula to convert it to higher time frames?
     
  2. To convert 1 minute bars to n minute bars:

    Start with a bar with time stamp xx Hour 01 Min.

    Highest high of 01 to n minutes is your n minute high.

    Lowest low of 01 to n minutes is your n minute low.

    Bar close is the n minute bar close.

    Repeat starting at xx Hour (n + 01) Min and so on until you run out of data..
     
  3. y - (z % y) + z

    where:

    - y is your higher interval number (3min, 5min etc)
    - z is your 1 min bar time

    output will give you your higher interval bar time.

    then just do the high/low comparisons as jeb mentioned on each 1min update.
