[R-SIG-Finance] Can't addMACD(). Is it a bug?

[R. Michael Weylandt]

Not runnable exactly as is.... where does the for loop have its close brace?

This works fine for me:

getSymbols("SPY", from = "1990-01-01")
y <- to.weekly(SPY)
chartSeries(y, type = "candlesticks", multi.col = TRUE, theme =
"white", subset = 'last 54 months', name = "SPY")
addMACD(fast = 12, slow = 26, signal = 9, type = "EMA", histogram = TRUE)
saveChart('pdf',width=25,height=13)

so try it for you.

Your data seems to work for me if I close the loop after MACD. Can you
display the error message or say more about why you think it doesn't
work?
