[R-SIG-Finance] RFC - Limit Order Book Package

[Daniel Cegiełka]

Hi
It's interesting. Jeff Ryan plan to add Order Book in to IBrokers package.

http://code.google.com/p/ibrokers/source/browse/trunk/WISHLIST

In quantstrat package you can find some "??order book??" for
placeOrder() function. I think it will be nice if this limitob could
be easily integrated with this kind off packages.

regards,
daniel

> Hello,

> I am working with Andraw Liu, under the supervision of David Kane and
> Jeff Enos ("backtest" and "portfolio" packages) to create a Limit
> Order Book package that will model a limit order book.
>
> Our initial version of the package is on R-Forge at
> https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/limitob/
>
> We would appreciate suggestions and comments as to what functionality
> the package should have. Currently, we have implemented the following

>
> --- "show", "summary", "plot", "display",
> --- "best.bid", "best.ask",
> --- "bid.price.levels", "ask.price.levels", "total.price.levels",
> --- "bid.orders", "ask.orders", "total.orders",
> --- "mid.point", "inside.market", "spread", "snapshot",
> ---  "add.order", "remove.order", "replace.order", "market.order"
>
> Additionally, we were wondering what a good name for the package would
> be--Limit Order Book sounds kind of clunky and we were thinking that
> maybe "order.book", "orderbook", "limitorderbook",  simply "lob" would
> work better. Suggestions on that would be helpful too!

> We will summarize any responses we receive and send an email to the
