Quantmod problem retrieving data
Werner,
It's as easy as using the correct FRED symbol:
getSymbols("DEXJPUS",src="FRED")
Best,
Josh

Hi, I'm investigating the package quantmod. However when doing the examples on the site i encounter some problems. Here is my output:
require(quantmod)

getSymbols("XPT/USD",src="Oanda")
Error in do.call(paste("getSymbols.", symbol.source, sep = ""), list(Symbols
= current.symbols, ?:
could not find function "getSymbols.Oanda"
As it seems, retrieving data via quantmod is not successful. ?Anybody knows
how i could solve this?

Werner
