quantmod is an superpower of R. Let's remember how few lines of code we need to make a static candlestick chart.
library(quantmod)
getSymbols("^GSPC", from = "2016-12-31")
chart_Series(GSPC)
I view this as simply amazing, but the only thing missing is some interactivity. rd3fc plans to eventually complete translate chart_Series to an interactive chart, but for now it will just produce the candlestick.
library(rd3fc)
# will use the current.chob() if no arguments
chartseries()
