I would like to convert a 1 minute xts data to 5 minutes bars using "to.minutes5".
library(xts)
N = 20 s = xts(1:N, order.by = seq.POSIXt(ISOdate(2012, 9, 1), by = "min", length = N)) s

Merely convention: to.period() goes to the _end_ of the unit being aggregated rather than the beginning. This seems reasonable if you consider a time stamp as when something can be known. (I.e., if you marked periods as the beginning, use of "Hi" and "Lo" would introduce a small but non-negligible look ahead into the simulation) Cheers, Michael
