Contributing to my employer's ESPP - is there a way to calculate a company's average performance over a 3-5 day period of time?

I'm going to contribute to my employer's ESPP which offers a 10% discount of the company stock. The money taken from my paycheck will be saved over the course of 6 months and then used to purchase the stock at FMV on the transaction day.

It will be on hold for 4 days before I'm able to sell it and I'd like to sell it at that time (hopefully for a small profit).

Is there a calculator out there that will help me look at past trends of the company in 4-5 day periods of time?

If I'm forced to wait those few days, am I better off waiting longer anyway? I'd prefer to sell immediately after the purchase takes place, but found out that's not possible.
