The most useful aspect of getMetals is the ability to specify the Metals in terms of underlying 3 character symbol or by name (e.g. XAU (gold) , XAG (silver), XPD (palladium), or XPT (platinum)).
There are unique aspects of any continuously traded commodity, and it is recommended that the user visit https://www.oanda.com for details on specific pricing issues.
See getSymbols
and getSymbls.oanda
for more detail.
Data will be assigned
automatically to the environment specified (the parent environment by default).
If auto.assign = FALSE
, the data from a single metal
request will simply be returned from the function call.
If auto.assign = TRUE
is used (the default)
a vector of downloaded symbol names will be returned.
See getSymbols
and getSymbols.oanda
for more detail.
