Hi,


As you can see from latest quantmod package doc there is no such function, up to the developer to say if they intend to do one. 

RBloomberg will be your way to access BBG data from R... Then convert the data object is uses (I am not familiar with it) into an xts object quantmod (& the subsequent tools such as quantstrat) can read / use

Thanks to update the list with your findings - especially if I am wrong


Rgds,
Julien
