Quant Finance with R Part 1: Intro and Data

Welcome to this quantitative finance series in R! In this tutorial, we'll go over installing necessary dependencies to start and playing a little with the Quantmod package. R is a statistical programming language that's widely used for quantitative finance within hedge funds, investment banks, and other areas as well. R is free and offers a robust set of libraries to analyze all sorts of financial data.

Thank you for the video, seems like the "quantmod" is not working on mac, one of the dependencies, zoo, is not available. Is there a fix for that?

[@MrBenlus]

You might have to install needed c or c++ libraries. I had a similar issue on ubuntu 18

[@rashawnhoward564]

You don't have to highlight! on a Mac push (command enter) and R will run that line of code

the dailyReturn code give me a error "cclRets

Has this kind of analysis actually helped you trade better? Seems like trading platforms would have most tools by default. However you could make your own strategies. But have you had any success with it? or do you know of anyone else that demonstrates success with it? I would like to learn R and get insights into the market. But the market seems so random.

[@Tommi_P_Laiho]

You have a point. It is highly unlikely that you will find hidden gold chips from the markets, which are already very well known.

Your website is not working. Could you please provide a link here. Thanks

Should i subscribe rstudio to do quantmod??

[@christianstoyanov2501]

Is there any way to use this for financial statements. I cant get the VBA thing to work. It just breaks every time.

[@dancrowell2933]

Hi Christian, this can be used for financial statements. What are you doing with them?
