Don't success to create xts from lines in code
I would read it as a data.frame, since the index has a
comma, then
convert to xts.
quotes <- read.csv(textConnection(lines), header=FALSE)
x <- as.xts(quotes[,-(1:2)],
as.POSIXct(paste(quotes[,1],quotes[,2]),format='%Y.%m.%d
%H:%M'))
colnames(x) <-
c('Open','High','Low','Close','Volume')
Thanks Josh. I just changed lines to Lines and it works. This data format is the data format for historical quotations from MetaTrader 4 : http://www.metaquotes.net/ Anybody can download MT4 client and open a account with a e-mail for free. Then download historical Forex datas for free. In french : Menu / Outils / Archives In english something near that : Menu / Tools / Historical data Maybe this R code could be added to show how to import for free Forex quotations into R.
