Quantmod R - candleChart - no colours

I was using the code below to create a candle stick graph but I am ending with the picture below. Could anyone help?

library(quantmod)
library(ggplot2)


DIS <- get(getSymbols("DIS",src="google"))["2015::2017-02-15"] 
candleChart(DIS)

enter image description here

Solution

  • Doesn't look like there is any issue. You're trying to plot years of data on what looks like a small display size, so the candles are too tiny to see.

    What do you see if you plot a smaller chunk of the data?

    candleChart(DIS, subset = "2015-01/2015-02")

    You probably then see the candles clearly.

    Either you need to expand the size of the output of your graphics device (blow up the image size), or subset to a smaller amount of data, to see the candles.

    You might also find chart_Series useful too.
