apply.paramset.signal.analysis error

Hello,

I've updated to the latest quanstrat, and still get an error using
apply.paramset.signal.analysis:

Error in post.signal.returns(signals = .sig.list[[name.ref]][,
paste(symbols[j],  :
  number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length


applyStrategy works, apply.paramset works, however I can't get the signal
portion working and was wondering if anyone knew what the error was.

When I run debug, the problem occurs in *post.signal.returns*, on the final
signal.ret[j,] = tryCatch, where the tryCatch returns an xts object with 5
rows, and it wants to update signal.ret[j,] which is length 6.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for your help.

applyStrategy works, apply.paramset works, however I can't get the

signal

When I run debug, the problem occurs in *post.signal.returns*, on the

final

signal.ret[j,] = tryCatch, where the tryCatch returns an xts object

Thanks for the reproducible example.  This looks like a bug when
include.day.of.signal = TRUE.  I'll investigate.

Thanks for the report. This should now be fixed in quantstrat on GitHub.

Please note that your call to apply.paramset.signal.analysis does not
have a value for the obj.fun argument, which is required.  You can add
obj.fun = signal.obj.slope as an example.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for your help.
