Subject: Re: [R-SIG-Finance] [R-sig-finance] Downloading data from Yahoo
I have a related question. 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
from GE) using Quantmod package. I have following quote :
from.dat <- as.Date("01/01/08", format="%m/%d/%y")
to.dat <- as.Date("02/19/09", format="%m/%d/%y")
getSymbols("^GE", src="yahoo", from = from.dat, to = to.dat)
Error is :
Error in download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=",
^GE&a=0&b=01&c=2008&d=1&e=19&f=2009&g=d&q=q&y=0&z=^GE&x=.csv'
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
data from Yahoo efficiently?
Regards,
