Newbie to R and quantmod. So if this is obvious, please excuse me With getSymbols() function is there a default number of values or prices (days) that it returns. I started playing with this yesterday and it appears the look back period for yahoo is pretty short...maybe a year ? I know there's an option to include a start date in the function, just wondering what the default is. Also, where should I have looked for the default value ?
require('quantmod')
?getSymbols.yahoo
'from' and 'to' are listed in the documentation, as is the default.
Cheers,
