[R-SIG-Finance] adapting quantstrat/demo/luxor code

Mon Jul 2 04:14:58 CEST 2012

Yes, omitting the Prices parameter doesn't the trick. I can use

col_names = c('Open','High','Low','Close','Volume')

instead of:
colnames(data.xts) <-
c('AUDUSD.Open','AUDUSD.High','AUDUSD.Low','AUDUSD.Close','AUDUSD.Volume')

Thank you!
