Common Issues & FAQ

Q: Why is there so much data? A: 1-minute bars produce ~390 data points per trading day. Consider using larger intervals if this is overwhelming.

Q: My spreadsheet is slow. What can I do? A: 1-minute data is resource-intensive. Consider using 5-minute bars for most day trading needs.

Q: Is 1-minute too granular? A: For most purposes, yes. 5-minute or 15-minute bars are usually sufficient. 1-minute is for scalping and micro-analysis.
