How to load CSV data file into R for use with quantmod

Question

I am new to R and have just started to use it. I am currently experimenting with the quantmod package.

The quantmod package seems to do most of what I want to do, ho

Answer 1

I can make it work, but you have to determine which parameters are needed for your setup.

library(quantmod)

# create sample data
getSymbols("SPY")
write.zoo(SPY, file="SPY.csv", sep=",")

# set symbol lookup
setSymbolLookup(SPY=list(src="csv",format="%Y-%m-%d"))
# call getSymbols(.csv) with auto.assign=FALSE
spy <- getSymbols("SPY", auto.assign=FALSE)
barChart(spy)
