Hey guys, i want to calculate the continuasly compounded returns for stock prices. Formula for CCR: R_t = ln(P_t/P_{t-1})*100 With R: First i have to modify the vectors, so that they have the same length and we start at the second observation. log(GOOG1[-1]/GOOG1[1:length(GOOG1)-1])*100 That does work with normal vectors. My Questions: 1) I want to use this for stock prices. so i

I am using getSymbols function from quantmod package to get price data from internet. Currently I have: my.ticker <- "IBM" getSymbols(my.ticker,src="google") This creates an xts object named my.ticker which contains historical price data for IBM. How can I call and manipulating this xts object using my original string my.ticker? I want to do: colnames(my.ticker) <-

Hi all, I would need to put datas downloaded with quantmod into a matrix or a data frame. Suppose to start from here: *require(quantmod) ticker.list <- c('AAA', 'ALTSALES', 'AMBNS', 'AMBSL', 'BAA', 'EMRATIO', 'FEDFUNDS', 'GASPRICE', 'GS1', 'GS10', 'GS20', 'LNS14100000', 'MORTG',

Can someone please tell me why the following (last line) doesn't work (as I expect it to :-) library(quantmod) a = getSymbols("MSFT",from="2009-3-01") a MSFT eval(as.name(a)) MSFT$MSFT.Adjusted b=paste(a,'$MSFT.Adjusted',sep='') b eval(as.name(b)) Why does this last line not work the way the earlier eval does? Thanks.

Hi, I work with SEXP C code and with xts and quantmod packages. I try to touch how xts internal works. So we have R session and: > ls() character(0) > getSymbols('AAPL') # quantmod package [1] "AAPL" > ls() [1] "AAPL" > str(AAPL) An ?xts? object from 2007-01-03 to 2010-09-09 containing: Data: num [1:929, 1:6] 86.3 84 85.8 86 86.5 ... - attr(*,

I'm sure there is a more general way to ask this question but how do you use the elements of a character vector as names of objects in an expression? For example, say you have: a = c(1,3,5,7) b = c(2,4,6,8) n=c("a","b") and you want to use the names a and b in a function (e.g. sum) sum(eval(as.name(n[1])),eval(as.name(n[2]))) works but what is a simpler way to

Hello; I am trying following but getting a warning message : Warning in rbind.zoo(...) : column names differ, no matter whatever I do. Also I do not want to specify column names manually, since I am just writing a wrapper function around getSymbols to get chunks of data from various sources - oanda, dividends etc. I tried giving col.names = T/F, header = T/F and skip = 1 but no help. I think

R 3.4.1 OS X Colleagues, I am just learning to use the quantmod package and I have encountered something that I don?t understand. This works: getSymbols("^DJI") This does not work: getQuote("^DJI?)

Could you provide some information on your data structure (e.g., are the two time series in separate columns in the data)? The solution is fairly straightforward once you have the data in the right structure. And I do not think tidyquant is necessary for what you want.

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 >

Hello, I'm trying to do two things: -1. Ensure that I understand how quantmod adjust's OHLC data -2. Determine how I ought to adjust my data. My overarching-goal is to adjust my OHLC data appropriately to minimize the difference between my backtest returns, and the returns I would get if I was trading for real (which I'll be doing shortly).
