additional parameters to be passed to getSymbols.oanda method |
A convenience wrapper to getSymbols(x,src='oanda').
The most useful aspect of getMetals is the ablity 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 http://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 (global by default).
If auto.assign is set to FALSE, the data from a single metal
request will simply be returned from the function call.
If auto.assign is used (the default)
a vector of downloaded symbol names will be returned.
See getSymbols and getSymbols.oanda for more detail.
