Hi Everyone. I am downloading intraday Bloomberg data from R. The code I give is: library(zoo) library(chron) library(RBloomberg) conn<-blpConnect(show.days="trading",na.action="previous.days",periodici ty="daily") dat<-blpGetData(conn, "VG1 Index", c("LAST_PRICE"), start=as.chron(as.Date("2006-9-01",

Quantstrat useRs, I have a number of questions about how to use quantstrat that I have accumulated since I have begun playing with it. First, can the orderqty be dynamic?

Hi all I have some tick-by-tick data and I have calculated the intraday returns. I want to sum up the intraday squared returns to calculate the daily volatility(or daily variance). I know that the s-plus FinMerics has the function aggregateSeries function that can be apply to daily data: aggregateSeries(x, Fun, by="daily"), but the counterpart function in R:applySeries can not be apply

Dear R Folks, I know that Enrique Bengoechea ( Credit Suisse ) had posted some code snippets for importing Bloomberg historical data into R. I found them to be very useful.

Hello, I have a series of intraday (high-frequency) price data in the form of POSIX timestamp followed by the value. I sucesfuly loaded that into "its" package object. I would like to create from it a regularly spaced time series of prices (for example 1min, 5min, etc apart) so i could calcualte returns. There is an interpolation function locf() that for timestamp with value NA uses last

Hi, let's say I have data x = c(1, 2, 10, 12) y = c(100, -20, 50, 25) if I go plot(x, y), then the default x-axis range goes from 1 to 12.

Hi, I have an intraday timeseries of financial data (see below) which has gaps due to market opening and closing hours. I am trying to plot it, but the time gap is always visible in the plot.
