Hello, I am closely following the RTAQ documentation in order to load my dataset into R, however I get this warning when running the convert function in the following way:
convert(from="2010-11-01", to="2010-11-01",datasource=datasource, datadestination=datadestination,trades=T,quotes=T,ticker="BAC",dir=T, extention="csv", header=T, tradecolnames=c("SYMBOL", "DATE", "TIME", "PRICE", "SIZE", "G127", "CORR", "COND", "EX"), quotecolnames=c("SYMBOL", "DATE", "TIME", "BID", "OFR", "BIDSIZ", "OFRSIZ", "MODE", "EX")) The only warning returned is: In `[<-.factor`(`*tmp*`, is.na(tdata$G127), value = c(1L, 1L, 1L, : invalid factor level, NAs generated As it is a warning, the .RData files still get created and I can use TAQLoad to load them: x <- TAQLoad("BAC",from="2010-11-01",to="2010-11-01",datasource=datadestination, trades=T,quotes=T) The PROBLEM: head(x) SYMBOL EX PRICE SIZE COND CORR G127 <NA> "BAC" "B" "11.4900" " 500" "@" "0" "0" ... This is the same for the quotes objects, but different headers obviously. I get a <NA> instead of the expected YYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format for each observation. I've spent a fair number of hours on trying to get this right, no success. Can you please provide me with some guidance? Thank you. A sample from the CSV files I use: SYMBOL,DATE,TIME,BID,OFR,BIDSIZ,OFRSIZ,MODE,EX BAC,20101101,9:30:00,11.5,11.51,5,116,12,P ...
