I do not recognize any different volume requirements between candlesticks and any other types of bars. Liquidity is the only issue. Common minimums for traders are usually 200,000/500,000 or 1,000,000. Depending on the volume distribution, 200,000 can be difficult to use on any type of 5 min. bar. One minute time frames are frequently worthless for pattern recognition on all but the most heavily traded stocks and are therefore better off traded from the tape if one insist on trading illiquid stocks.
