Hey! Wishing you well today!

I'm wanting to create a model based on Volume At Price Volume Areas so I need to run a statistical analysis on historical data,
but I need to use hourly and weekly Volume Profiles so I need to run this on a 5 minute chart.

Is it possible to run a multi-year backtest on a 5 minute chart also considering that futures contracts expire quickly? cheers!
