Hi Garrett, Thank you very much for the patch and the instructions. I was able to execute the updatePortf, updateAcct and updateEndEq without any errors after updating the package followed by date changes you suggested. Regards, Pie

FYI, R-Forge has built Rev. 1151. So, you should be able to install with
install.packages("blotter", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

If you are able to checkout the code using an svn client, but can't
figure out how to build it, you can probably install it with something
similar to this:
install.packages("/path/to/svn/blotter/pkg/blotter/", repos=NULL,
type='source')
You want to see

Hi Garrett, Thank you for both the fix as well as for your guidance. I will go through the links and try to build the latest version and try again along with the changes suggested. Regarding warning messages (while downloading data from Yahoo), I have been getting these messages right from the time I started using R (including on demo code). So I just assumed it was a harmless message everyone gets. I will check it out. Regards, Pie On Mon, Sep 3, 2012 at 12:14 PM, G See <gsee000 at gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Pie, Thanks for providing reproducible code. I committed a patch in Rev. 1151 that I believe will fix your problem. If you need help checking out and building the latest revision, see this post on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11105132/967840 Internally, the code was checking to see if "Dates" was timeBased. If it wasn't, it was being converted to a timeBased vector. But, later, the code was treating "Dates" as if it were not timeBased. Hopefully my patch fixes your problem and doesn't create others. There are a couple other things to mention. First, these lines are not going to work: updateAcct(account, Dates=paste('::',as.Date(Sys.time()),sep='')) updateEndEq(account, Dates=paste('::',as.Date(Sys.time()),sep='')) These functions do not support that type of "Dates" strings. You'll have to either use Dates=NULL, or supply both starting and ending dates like this: updateAcct(account, Dates=paste(initDate, as.Date(Sys.time()),sep='::') ) updateEndEq(account, Dates=paste(initDate, as.Date(Sys.time()),sep='::') ) Second, I didn't get these warnings that you got
getSymbols(symbols, src='yahoo',
index.class=c("POSIXt","POSIXct"),from='2001-01-01')
[1] "QQQ" "IWM"
Warning messages:
1: In download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m, :
downloaded length 147933 != reported length 200
2: In download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m, :
downloaded length 147996 != reported length 200
I'm not sure why you get those warnings, but your version of quantmod is a little older than mine (the R-forge version). HTH, Garrett On Sun, Sep 2, 2012 at 11:27 PM, pie trader <pietrader at gmail.com> wrote:
Hi, Currently I am stuck on an error with updatePortf function in blotter. The error message is same as the issue mentioned on R-sig-finance previously i.e., http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/blotter-updatePortf-issues-tp4635933.html
