Downloading data from Yahoo
Thanks everyone for answering my query. I need one more extension. Suppose I want to download GE, Intel and CTS data from Yahoo-finance and "USD/CAD" exchange rate data from Oanda. Obviously I can do that by writing two separate lines of codes, one for Yahoo and another for Oanda. My question is, are there any privilege wherein I can download all four data in a single go? Thanks,

Does quantmod still support oanda? I got the following message when I tried
getSymbols("XPT/USD",src="Oanda")
Error in do.call(paste("getSymbols.", symbol.source, sep = ""),
list(Symbols
= current.symbols, : could not find function "getSymbols.Oanda"
Thanks

Hi, I am having problem downloading quote from Yahoo (historical stock

getSymbols("^GE", src="yahoo", from = from.dat, to = to.dat)
Error is :

In addition: Warning message: In download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m, : cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found' Can anyone please point out that what is the wrong here? How can I
