Thanks to mrflick on Freenode, I was able to get chartSeries to plot the data.
data$date<-strptime(data$date, format="%Y-%m-%d") dataxts<-xts(data$price, order.by=data$date) chartSeries(dataxts) chartSeries(dataxts, type="candlesticks") plots the same graph though: http://i.imgur.com/P0Jh0.png Why is this?
