[R-SIG-Finance] Error in Blotter's Longtrend Demo

[Wolfgang Wu]

Ok. I understand. So when I run it the second time the warnings regarding the rm functions are gone. I still get a warning for getSymbols.
> getSymbols('^GSPC', src='yahoo', index.class=c("POSIXt","POSIXct"),from='1998-01-01')
[1] "GSPC"
Warning message:
In download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m,  :
  downloaded length 187356 != reported length 200

My GSPC time series looks like this:

There are no other warnings. And I still get

> updatePortf(ltportfolio, Dates = CurrentDate)
Error: object 'ConMult' not found

Any other ideas?

Try rerunning the demo in the same R session as your first, failed/error attempt.  The 'rm' errors are there to clean out the side effects from previous demo runs.  Rerunning will get rid of those, and may give us the warning I expect that would point towards where your problem is.
