cryptoQuotes 1.3.1

Improvements

Charting

  • The chart()-function now has proper light-theme available that isn’t the default plotly-values.
  • The charts now displays date ranges as a subtitles.
  • The bollinger_bands()-function now accepts a color-argument. These can be passed as Hexadecimal-colors or as is, "blue" for example.
  • A new main chart function has been introduced. line() which is a univariate price chart based on either open, high, low or close prices.

Documentation

  • The documentation has been extensively reworked. This is includes, but not limited to, sample outputs for all get_*-functions.

Backend Changes

  • The chart()-functions no longer depend on rlang.

Note: we are generally moving away from rlang, purrr and tidyverse in general. We are, however, keeping the tidyverse styleguide.

  • Removed dependency on conflicted-package.

Prior to version 1.3.0 the get*-functions were following the syntax of quantmod closely, and this goes for the function naming too. With the adoption of the tidyverse style guide, there is no conflicts that needs to be resolved on stable- and experimental-functions.

New developper tools

  • pull()-function
  • var_ly()-function
  • build()-function

Breaking Changes

  • The get_FGIndex()- and get_fgindex()-function now returns columns in lower case.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug where get_fgindex() where labelled as deprecated
  • Fixed a bug in the limitations-article where the desired number of observations werent compatible with the kraken-exchange.
  • Fixed a warning in the get_lsratio()-function with source = "binance"
  • Fixed a bug in the lsr()-indicator which broke the chart()-function when included.

cryptoQuotes 1.3.0

CRAN release: 2024-03-12

Improvements

General function improvements

  • get_lsratio and getLSratio() supports kraken and bybit as source

  • available_-functions are more adaptive to the calling environments


## charting the klines
## with indicators as
## subcharts
available_exchanges(type = 'ohlc')

Now returns all available exhanges that supports Open, High, Low and Close market data. The type-argument can be changed to, for example, lsratio to get all available exchanges that supports Long to Shorts ratios. Similar changes have been made to remaining available_-functions.

Error-handling

All get_*- and available_*-functions are now more robust to API and input errors.

Default Returning

  • quotes and fear and greed index now returns 200 rows instead of 100

Charting

  • The charts now has a dark and light theme. Its passed into the options = list(dark = TRUE) of the chart()-function.
  • The charts are now more color deficiency compliant, and the deficiency parameter in options = list(deficiency = TRUE) now applies to all chart-elements
  • The charts are now constructed without %>% and, should, be more intuitive to navigate in. See example below,

## charting the klines
## with indicators as
## subcharts
chart(
  ticker     = BTCUSDT,
  main       = kline(),
  sub        = list(
    volume(),
    macd()
  ),
  indicator = list(
    bollinger_bands(),
    sma(),
    alma()
  ),
  options = list(
    dark = TRUE,
    deficiency = FALSE
  )
)

Exchange Support

The following exchanges have been added to list of exchanges available,

  • ByBit

New features

  • Funding rates

## get funding rate
get_fundingrate(
    ticker = "BTCUSDT",
    source = "binance"
  )
  • Open interest

## get open interest
get_openinterest(
      ticker = "BTCUSDT",
      source = "binance"
    )

Breaking Changes

Charting

  • All the charting-functions have been reworked without backwards compatibility, or lifecycle::deprecated()-warnings. The charting-functions were, and still is, in an experimental-stage.

API Calls

  • All dates passed to get_*-functions assumed the dates were given in UTC, and were retrieved as UTC. These have now been changed; all functions now uses Sys.timezone() as default upon request and retrieval.

Warning

As the cryptoQuotes-package has moved to the tidyverse style guide, the getFoo-functions are now deprecated. These will be permanently deleted, and removed from the cryptoQuotes-package, at version 1.4.0!

 )
