Hi, I have what I think is an easy question. I have a data frame, called stockdata, of stock prices that looks like this: date ticker close 1 01/02/1998 GE 24.667 2 01/05/1998 GE 25.104 3 01/06/1998 GE 24.771 4 01/07/1998 GE 24.979 5 01/08/1998 GE 24.750 6 01/02/1998 HIT 71.125 7 01/05/1998 HIT 72.313

I want to get data for a set of ticker symbols and compute the daily return of the adjusted close using quantmod, and then scatterplot returns using pairs(). The following gets data for the list of tickers: tickers <- c("SHY","TLT","SPY","IWM","GLD","IEV","ILF","EWJ","EPP","SAF","ASA")

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 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

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 >

Hello, I am relatively new to using R. I am using R version 2.8.0. I have a program that downloads stock data from Yahoo! Finance and stores it to a text file on my hard drive. The text file contains the date, opening price, high price, low price, closing price, volume and adjusted price (i.e., adjusted for dividends and splits). I want to read and manipulate the data in R. However, when I

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.

Hi, I do not understand why after I called apply on a function that returns an xts (getIdvAdjSeries) it returns a matrix whose columns are just numeric value of time series in xts instead of a list of xts objects. Basically, I called the following: apply(matrix(tickers,ncol=1),1,FUN=getDivAdjSeries) getDivAdjSeries <- function(ticker) { seriesName <-

I was on vacation the last week and wrote some code to run a 500-day correlation between the Nasdaq tracking stock (QQQ) and 191 currency pairs for 500 days. The initial run took 9 hours(!) and I'd like to make it faster. So, I'm including my code below, in hopes that somebody will be able to figure out how to make it faster, either through parallelisation, or by making changes. I've

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

Hi, I am trying to download data from Bloomberg through R. If I try to download intraday data for multiple tickers and only one field, I get the error, written below in red. How do I get rid of this error? > dat<-blpGetData(conn, c("NOK1V FH Equity","AUA AV Equity"), "LAST_PRICE",

Hi, I've written some R code that runs through a loop a certain number of times. I want to save the output of each loop under a new variable name, but I seem unable to do so. I have a [10,1] matrix of stock tickers, and I want to save the output to the variable name: paste(matrix[i,1],"rets",sep=""). Eg: AAPLrets would be the name of the variable that I would save the
