We have written many posts related to stocks. A good way to represent the stock prices as time series is with Candlestick Charts.

Candlestick Charts in R 1

Let’s see how we can easily produce candlestick charts with R. We will work with the quantmod library and with the AMZN stock.

library("quantmod")    


# get the Amazon Stock data
Amazon<-getSymbols("AMZN", 
           from = "2020-01-01", 
           to = "2021-03-17",
           periodicity = "daily",
           auto.assign=FALSE)

chartSeries(Amazon, name="Amazon Chart")
Candlestick Charts in R 2

chartSeries(Amazon, name="Amazon Chart", subset = "last 2 months")
