Dear R users, I am trying to use tseries' garch function in order to determine the volatility of a return series generated by quantmod. Here is the code that I am using: > library(quantmod) > getSymbols("AAPL") convert daily closing prices into continuous log returns > dret<-dailyReturn(AAPL,type='log') check to see that the autocorrelations decay >

I am new to R so I apologize if my question is trivial. I have not been able to figure out whether what I want to do is even possible. I have a data frame of stock ticker symbols which I store into R space from a txt file as follows: tickers <- read.csv("stocks.txt", header=FALSE, sep=",") tickers <- tickers[1] / the tickers are stored in the first column >

Hi all, I am trying to use in RStudio the latest code given in https://github.com/systematicinvestor/SIT/blob/master/R/bt.test.r, which seems to work fine but with the following warning for download limits (one for each of the tickers). I searched in options() something which could be related to this setting, w/o success. Any hint for me in order to raise or remove these limits? Where is this

Hello Everyone, I just started a new job & it requires heavy use of R to analyze datasets. I have a data.table that looks like this. It is sorted by ID & Date, there are about 150 different IDs & the dataset spans 3 million rows. The main columns of concern are ID, date, and totret. What I need to do is to derive daily returns for each ID from totret, which is simply totret at time

Hi, I have been learning the quantmod package over the last several days. I went to check some of my data pulls against other sources and was surprised to find that a few tickers that have single characters do not successfully scrape from Google Finance using getFin(). Particularly require(quantmod) getFin("A") getFin("E") getFin("F") getFin("G")

Hi All, I have a character vector by name tickers > head(tickers,10) V1 1 ADARSHPL.BO 2 AGR.V 3 AGU 4 AGU.TO 5 AIMCO.BO 6 ALUFLUOR.BO 7 AMZ.V 8 AVD 9 ANILPROD.BO 10 ARIES.BO I would like to extract all elements that has ".BO" in it. I tried > grep("\.BO",tickers) Error: '\.' is an unrecognized

Dear R Helpers, I have run into a problem trying to perform a number of actions on a set of quantmod data objects through a loop and I am hoping that this is an easy problem for someone else as opposed to very difficult for me. The example task is to get the first three objects of the quarterly balance sheet for a number of companies from the getFinancials object and put them together into a

Hi, I'm using R to collect data for a number of exchanges through a socket connection and constantly running into memory problems even though task I believe is not that memory consuming. I guess there is a miscommunication between R and WinXP about freeing up memory. So this is the code: for (x in 1:length(exchanges.to.get)) { tickers<-sqlQuery(channel,paste("SELECT Symbol

Hi, I am an R novice working with financial data. I am developing a portfolio strategy evaluation technique to back-test the performance of our screens; checking how the screened stock would've performed over the period in question. I am using quantmod in R to download the historical data from yahoo and then analyzing it using PerformanceAnalytics. My problem is that, as our screens are done

Hello, I have been trying to plot correctly a graph for 2 month now, with no success.I want to put a grid, adjusted on the X axis tickers. Here is the way I build my X-Axis and my grid: grid(11, NULL, col="grey40") axis(2) # build the tickers on the beginning of each monthticks.at <- seq(ISOdatetime(lastYear, 01, 01, hour=0, min=0, sec=0, tz="GMT"),

I have a data.frame which I believe is melted already and am having trouble casting it to 'wide' format. It looks something like > (x <- data.frame(ticker=c(rep("A",5),rep("B",6)), date=c(1:5, 1:6), value=c(NA,100*exp(rnorm(10,0,.1))))) > cast(x, date ~ ticker) # this does what I want with toy data But when I use my real data frame >

Hi R, Can I convert ISIN numbers into Bloomberg tickers in the RBloomberg package? BR, Shubha [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Running CentOS 3.4, I enabled the ntpd service and noticed that it opens up a hole in the firewall for ntp from 127.127.1.0. I look in the ntpd initscript and see that it's reading in servers from /etc/ntp/step-tickers. However, that file is empty... /etc/ntp/ntpservers contains clock.redhat.com and clock2.redhat.com, but ntpservers isn't used *anywhere*. This looks like a bug, but

Hi, I am trying to read a series of stock tickers into R, and I'm running into trouble with Ford (F) and the old AT&T (T). Read.table seems to interpret these as boolean values instead of strings, even when I set colColumns to a vector of character(0)'s. Is there a way to convince it to read them as strings? Thanks in advance for the help, David
