I have 15-minute OHLC data and want to convert to daily OHLC
but with the start of the day at 17:00:00.
This way, the resulting daily bar should span from 17:00:00 to 17:00:00, not from 00:00:00 to 00:00:00

x <- zoo(runif(25), order.by=seq(
as.POSIXct("2010-05-03 17:00:00"),
as.POSIXct("2010-05-06 17:00:00"),
by="15 min"
)
)
_
head(x)
2010-05-03 17:00:00 0.9788685

Using xts : Changing the periodicity from 15m to 60m works nicely:
x_agg <- to.minutes(x,k=60, indexAt="startof")
head(x_agg)
x.Open x.High x.Low x.Close

Using xts : Changing the periodicity from 15m to 1440m = 1Day does not work:
x_agg <- to.minutes(x,k=1440, indexAt="startof")
head(x_agg)

I don't know why the index changes to 02:00:00 - it should be 17:00:00 for all days.
How can this be done - using xts ? Thank you for your effort.

Most (all?) xts functions define time intervals using the endpoints() function, which creates the intervals based on offsets from the epoch. This is usually desirable, because it finds/creates breaks at round units of time (at the change of a minute, hour, etc).
If I understand correctly, you want intervals defined by the first observation in your data. I can see how you would expect endpoints at 17:00:00, since that's the hour and minute of your first observation. I'm not sure you would have the same expectation if your first observation was at an irregular time like 17:01:32.741.
So, that's the backstory, and therefore I can't think of an easy/straight-forward way to get the result you want. But here's an attempt at a kludge, using period.apply() with custom endpoints and function.
# custom aggregation function to convert a chunk of data to one OHLC observation
toOHLC <- function(x) {
op <- as.vector(first(x))
hl <- range(x, na.rm = TRUE)
cl <- as.vector(last(x))
xts(cbind(Open = op, High = hl[2], Low = hl[1], Close = cl), end(x))
}
Now a hack to get endpoints for days defined by 17:00.
# Convert to xts
y <- as.xts(x)
# Convert index to UTC
indexTZ(y) <- "UTC"
# Set first observation to epoch (zero)
.index(y) <- .index(y) - .index(y)[1]
# Get endpoints for y by day
ep <- endpoints(y, "days")
Now you can use ep in your call to period.apply() to get OHLC by days, where 17:00:00 is the breakpoint.
period.apply(x, ep, toOHLC)
