Note
The Financial Time Series app will be removed in a future release and
will no longer accept a fints
object.
Use fts2timetable
to
convert a fints
object to a timetable
object.
For more information, see Convert Financial Time Series Objects fints to Timetables.
The Financial Time Series app enables you to create and manage
financial time series (fints
) objects. The Financial
Time Series app interoperates with the Financial Time Series Graphical
User Interface (ftsgui
) and
Interactive Chart (chartfts
).
In addition, you can use Datafeed Toolbox™ software to connect
to external data sources.
A financial time series object minimally consists of:
Desc
, which is the description
field.
Freq
, which is a frequency indicator
field.
Dates
, which is a date vector field.
If the date vector incorporates time-of-day information, the object
contains an additional field named times
.
In addition, you can have at least one data series
vector. You can specify names for any data series vectors. If you
do not specify names, the object uses the default names series1
, series2
, series3
,
and so on.
In general, the workflow for using the Financial Time Series app is:
Acquire data.
Create a variable.
Convert the variable to fints
.
Convert fints
to a MATLAB® double
object.
To obtain the data for the Financial Time Series app, you need
to use a MATLAB double object or a financial time series (fints
)
object. You can use previously stored internal data on your computer
or you can connect to external data sources using Datafeed Toolbox software.
Note
You must obtain a license for these products from MathWorks before you can use Datafeed Toolbox.
After creating a financial time series object, you can use
the Financial Time Series app to change the characteristics of the
time series object, including merging with other financial time series
objects, removing rows or columns, and changing the frequency. You
can also use the Financial Time Series app to generate various forms
of plotted output and you can reconvert a fints
object
to a MATLAB double-precision matrix.
