Numeric to timeSeries help

[Golam Sakline]

Hi,

Can someone quickly help me with few lines of code or point me to a site that shows how to merge a numeric class object column with time column of getSymbol object and plot it in quantmod chartSeries.
Much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

A little more specificity might have helped...

getSymbols("IBM")
IBM$Random<-rnorm(nrow(IBM))
chart_Series(IBM)
add_Vo()
add_TA(IBM$Random)

There's no such thing as a "getSymbol" object.  By default getSymbols
returns an xts object.  xts objects do not have a "time column"; they
have an index attribute that stores the date/time.

What did you try?  This works:
x <- xts(1:10, Sys.Date()+1:10)
x <- merge(x,10:1)

Best,

?merge.xts is what you need.

It will behave like you'd expect in R - requiring a vector of length ==
nrow of your object, or will be recycled as needed. e.g. cbind(x, NA) will
recycle NA accordingly
