Can Anybody Give Me A Help:Using R As a Trade Platform in *nix OS, and even In console/terminal/commandline?
Take a look at the packages most talked about on this list. Some ones that may get you started include quantmod, xts, TTR, quantstrat, blotter, and IBrokers. All are non-GUI, and are very powerful for various aspects of a trading system. I realize that English isn't your native language, but if you could be more specific in terms of _what_ you want to do once you've looked over the details of the above packages, many on the list would be glad to give further guidance. Best, Jeff

Hello everyone,I'm always searching for a effective?powerful?flexible(using
stratigies and algo trading) trading platform for a long long time,all the
trade platform existed now are sucks,all I want is something powerful just
like the editor *VIM or Shell in Linux*.Now I meet R,and I'm wondering if
it is necessary to meet my demand.
First let me describe my thoughts briefly:
I.Input 'R' in Command Line
II.Import something trade platform packges under R envoriment,*not gui*,but
cml
III.Login into my account using the broker's api
IV.The most powerful places:very many tools which I can quote,see my
account's positions,send buy/sell orders to the market and so on.And I can
use all these commands together to get more powerful results,just like
shell,you can use some commands together.
V.I can treat every single stratgies as a plugin,and can use it
flexiblely,just like something 'BUY IBM 100,000 Shares In exameplestrategy"
Well,I think that is a good trade platform,not today's existed product in
GUI,they are too slow and can not make trader(s) focus on markets.Maybe
many spirits in linux can bring to this area.
Can anyone give me a hint? Thanks very much
