Connecting R to existing backtest platforms?

M

Hi all,

It looks like R lacks of a good time series interactive viewer...

I am thinking of connecting R to some (existing) backtest platforms so that time series can be visualized in those platforms...

I am thinking of Multi-charts or Trade-station... etc.

What's the best way to do this?

Any thoughts? Please shed some lights!

Thanks a lot!
 
I don't think TradeStation et al. can plot arbitrary time series per se. In any case, there would be no direct connection between R and the platform. You would have to export the time series data to a file and then import it into the platform....but then, what is the point of using R? You can just code the plots/time series on the platform directly e.g. as an indicator on a base OHLC financial time series (stock, commodity, fx pair etc.)

What's wrong with Quantmod for R?:
