R and Metatrader 4

Question

R has a great way of collecting data from other sources (eg Yahoo finance etc)

library(quantmod)
getSymbols("YHOO",src="google")

Is there a way of collecting Metatrader 4 into R

eg:

library(*******)
getSymbols("***",period=1hr, src="Metatrader4")

`getSymbols("YHOO",src="google")` donwload data from [this url](https://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=NASDAQ%3AYHOO&ei=-aCgUdDuCuT3wAOBEA). if Metatrader offer the same free service it is easy to implement this source but obviously it is not a free service. So the answer is probably you can't collect data from Metatrader source. — agstudy, May 25 '13 at 11:33
