Seer and R

R is a powerful programming language/environment that is primarily used for statistical computing and graphics. R has become popular within the quantitative finance community and is freely downloaded from the R project homepage.

An R enabled version of Seer is able to execute R commands within Seer's scripting engine. This allows the use of R commands and scripts within Seer objects such as indicators, charts and events. Data from Seer (such as price columns or trade history) can be exported into the R environment where it can be analysed within the R console to produce R based reports and graphics.

Using the Seer R console Using the end event to export data into R using the RVar command. In this case we export trade history net profit so it can be analysed with the Seer Console to produce R graphics.	Using R to build Technical Analysis Indicators Directly execute R commands within Seer itself, in this case to create a simple TA indicator. Data types are transparently converted from Seer to R making coding simple and quick.
