Bar Data

Bar Data - Aggregated price data over fixed time intervals (e.g. one-minute, hourly OHLC bars). Bar data compacts tick data into open/high/low/close values per period. While less granular than tick data, bar data is faster for backtests and often sufficient for many strategies. For example, cTrader lets you use 1‑minute bars from the server in backtests. In code, trading APIs provide a Bars object (e.g. in cTrader) which offers series like Bars.HighPrices[], Bars.LowPrices[], and Bars.ClosePrices[] for each bar.
