This is correct behaviour, but can confuse traders comparing across timeframes.</p> <h2 id="how-aggregation-works">How aggregation works</h2> <p>A 5-min candle aggregates 5 minutes of ticks:</p> <ul> <li>Open: first traded price in the 5-min window.</li> <li>High: max price in the window.</li> <li>Low: min price in the window.</li> <li>Close: last traded price in the window.</li> </ul> <p>A 1-min candle does the same for 1 minute. A 15-min for 15 minutes. The aggregation period defines the candle&rsquo;s OHLC.</p>
