get_moex_options_data(code, from, to = from, period = "tick",
  local = TRUE)
get_moex_futures_data(code, from, to = from, period = "tick",
  local = TRUE)
get_moex_continuous_futures_data(contract, from, to, frequency, day_exp)

Arguments

symbol

symbol name

from, to

text dates in format "YYYY-mm-dd"

split.adjusted

should data be split adjusted?

dividend.adjusted

should data be split adjusted?

period

candle period tick, 1min, 5min, 10min, 15min, 30min, hour, day, week, month

code

futures or option code name, e.g. "RIU6"

Local Storage

It is recommended to store tick market data locally. Load time is reduced dramatically. It is a good way to collect market data as e.g. IQFeed gives only 180 days of tick data if you would need more it will cost you a lot. See store_market_data for details. Only IQFeed, Finam and MOEX data supported.

Details

Use external websites to get desired symbol name for Finam, MOEX, IQFeed, Yahoo and Google sources.
