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).

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

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

Hi, I work with SEXP C code and with xts and quantmod packages. I try to touch how xts internal works.

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). Background: -1. I'm using Alpha

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 Charlie, I am comfortable to put the data in any way that works best. Here are two possibilities: an xts and a data frame. library(quantmod) quantmod::getSymbols("SPY") # creates xts variable SPY SPYxts <- SPY[,c("SPY.Close","SPY.Volume")] SPYdf <- data.frame(Date=index(SPYxts),close=as.numeric(SPYxts$SPY.Close),
