Hi All I am totally new to R so this question may sound basic to many of you. I am trying to use R for time series analysis of some financial instruments. Currently i have hourly data of a stock which has OPEN/HIGH/LOW/CLOSE in a CSV file. I used read.table to import the data in R in to a dataframe but i am following below issues:
1. Date is coming in character format and i am not sure whats the best package of function to format the date in "DD/MM/YY HH:MM" format 2. When i plot the data using PLOT() data points are so overlapping on the chart that its hard to identify the data points. I am not able to specify XLIM parameter as my dates are in character. I tried using the C() function to provide the first hour and last hour of the data but it won't accept it. Is there any better package for plotting time series data. 3. Any package which can help me plot the candle stick chart for this OHLC data and help me do some statistical analysis on the data. Thanks in Advance.
