[R] Three most useful R package

[Cedrick W. Johnson]

   I think Brian and Josh the two powerhouses behind quantmod and other finance
   related packages are working on a package called 'blotter' which is on
   r-forge which may be able to help you with keeping track and doing some
   testing of trading strategies.

1) quantmod, zoo, xts, TTR in no particular order, the first requires the other
s, so I can't really separate them.

2) There are plenty of packages for my needs (using R as a hobbyist), but my bi
ggest concern is that they lack active support. A package for complex testing o
f trading strategies would be nice, but it's hard to come up with a good design
.

Hi R-fans,

I would like put out a question to all R users on this list and hope
it will create some feedback and discussion.

1) What are your 3 most useful R package? and

2) What R package do you still miss and why do you think it would make
a useful addition?

Pulling answers together for these questions will serve as a guide for
new users and help people who just want to get a hint where to look
first. Happy replying!

Best,
Ralf
