iqfeed (version 0.2)

iqfeed-package: An R interface to DTN IQFeed.

Description

The iqfeed package contains several convenience functions that access IQFeed historic and other data from the DTN IQfeed product.

Details

The iqfeed package supports basic historic and options chain data lookup from IQFeed. We also include some functions for converting between various options symbol formats. (Those functions will fortunately become obsolete when options symbology is standardized later in 2010.)
