[R-SIG-Finance] New opentick package on CRAN

[Josh Ulrich]

Dear R-Sig-Finance Members,

I pleased to announce the pre-alpha version of the new opentick
package.  The package is designed to provide a native R interface to
the opentick data servers, which include both real time and historical
market data.  (Disclaimer: This software is not endorsed in any way by
opentick corporation. The author(s) of this software are not
affiliated with opentick corporation.)

The package currently includes a limited R implementation of the
otFeed API.  Its current functionality enables access to historic data
from the opentick servers.  Future additions will include access to:

- real-time data feeds (for most U.S. stock, option, and futures exchanges).
- real-time option chains.
- real-time and historical book data.

I will use community interest to gauge the priority of these additions.

Please note that opentick is not currently accepting new users, but
current users will retain their access.  This has been the case since
April and it is not clear when new users will be allowed.

Regards,
Josh
