ftsbound

Start and end dates

ftsbound is not recommended. Use timetable instead. For more information, see Convert Financial Time Series Objects fints to Timetables.

Syntax

datesbound = ftsbound(tsobj)

datesbound = ftsbound(tsobj,dateform)

Description

datesbound = ftsbound(tsobj) returns the start and end dates contained in tsobj as serial dates in the column matrix datesbound. The first row in datesbound corresponds to the start date, and the second corresponds to the end date.

ftsbound returns the start and end dates of a financial time series object. If the object contains time-of-day data, ftsbound also returns the starting time on the first date and the ending time on the last date.

datesbound = ftsbound(tsobj,dateform) returns the starting and ending dates contained in the object, tsobj, as date character vectors in the column matrix, datesbound. The first row in datesbound corresponds to the start date, and the second corresponds to the end date. The dateform argument controls the format of the output dates.

Examples

Obtain Start and End Dates for the Financial Time Series Object tsobj

1. Create a fints object.

   dates_and_times = (now:now+5)'

   dates_and_times =
   
      1.0e+05 *
   
       7.3840
       7.3840
       7.3840
       7.3841
       7.3841
       7.3841
   

    tsobj = fints(dates_and_times, randn(6,1))

   Warning: FINTS is not recommended. Use TIMETABLE instead. For more information, see Convert Financial Time Series Objects (fints) to Timetables.

       {'08-Sep-2021'}    {'17:10'      }    {[       0.6966]}

2. Obtain the start and end dates using ftsbound.

   datesbound = ftsbound(tsobj)
