Some answers:

5 minute bar:

The end price is the last print.
The start price comes from a one minute candle, and is therefore precise to the minute.


The OddsMaker:

We enter based on alerts.

These can be based on single prints, various sized candles, or other data; see the on-line help for specifics about different alert types.

The normal exit is based on time. Exit times are rounded to the nearest five minutes. When you specify a delay time, that is not rounded. First we add the delay time to the entry time, then we round the result. So you can easily see your exits on a five minute candle chart.

Stop losses and profit targets are mostly triggered by a single print. There are, however, some special cases. We try to simulate real trading by assuming that you can’t always get into a stop loss instantly.

Hope that helps.
