I think Brian and Josh the two powerhouses behind quantmod and other finance related packages are working on a package called 'blotter' which is on r-forge which may be able to help you with keeping track and doing some testing of trading strategies. regards, cj On 3/3/2010 10:10 AM, ivan popivanov wrote:
1) quantmod, zoo, xts, TTR in no particular order, the first requires the other s, so I can't really separate them. 2) There are plenty of packages for my needs (using R as a hobbyist), but my bi ggest concern is that they lack active support. A package for complex testing o f trading strategies would be nice, but it's hard to come up with a good design .

Pulling answers together for these questions will serve as a guide for new users and help people who just want to get a hint where to look first. Happy replying!
