\textsc{pm}w\textsc{r} is to provide well-documented
and reliable code.  For all computations, unit tests
are included.  As of package version %
\Sexpr{pv}, \Sexpr{nt} tests are included.  These tests are
stored in subdirectory \texttt{tinytest}.} %

efficient and convenient tools that help
with processing and analysing trade and portfolio data.
The package grew out of various pieces of software that
I have written since 2008.%
\footnote{In the unlikely case that you come across a
  really-old version of the package: it was called \textsc{pm}
  before 2012.} %

The package is on \textsc{cran} and can be installed from
there.  The very latest (i.e. development) version of the
package is available
from \url{https://enricoschumann.net/R/packages/PMwR/}\,. To
install that version from within R, type
<<eval=false, results=hide>>=
install.packages('PMwR',
                 repos = c('https://enricoschumann.net/R',
                           getOption('repos')))
@
within a session.  The package depends on several other
packages, which can be obtained from the same
repository and from \textsc{cran}.  The source code is
also hosted at publicly-available repositories; see the
\texttt{DESCRIPTION} file.


\section*{What the package provides}

There are three main topics for which the package
provides functionality:

\begin{description}
\item[Keeping track of transactions] The package provides
  functions that work with journals (sometimes called
  blotters). See \texttt{?journal} and
  \texttt{?position}.
\item[Computing \textsc{p}\&\textsc{l} and returns] See
  \texttt{?pl}, \texttt{?returns}, \texttt{?rc} and
  \texttt{?unit\_prices}.
\item[Testing strategies] See \texttt{?btest}.
\end{description}

% Several examples will be provided in the next section.
% Other than that, there are a number of helper
% functions.
\noindent All details are in the manual:

\noindent I am grateful for comments, suggestions and
corrections.  Please send bug reports directly to the
package maintainer, for instance by using
\texttt{bug.report}.\index{bug reports}

\noindent Applications, as long as they are finance-related, should be
discussed on the \texttt{R-SIG-Finance} mailing list:\smallskip

% \subsection*{Keeping track of transactions}

% List of transactions can be handled as so-called journals.

% Let us invent a small trading history.

% <<journal>>=
% J <- read.table(text = "
% instrument ,  timestamp , amount ,  price
%       MSFT , 2020-05-04 ,     10 ,  178.0
%       MSFT , 2020-05-04 ,    -10 ,  178.5
%       MSFT , 2020-05-05 ,     20 ,  180.7
%       AMZN , 2020-05-06 ,      5 , 2315.0",
% header = TRUE, sep = ",", strip.white = TRUE)
% J$timestamp <- as.Date(J$timestamp)
% J <- as.journal(J)
% J
% @

% A \texttt{summary} method provides some stats.
% <<summary-journal>>=
% summary(J, by.instrument = TRUE, by.timestamp = TRUE)
% @

% The function \texttt{positions} aggregates the trades to a position.
% <<position>>=
% position(J)
% @
% We may as well specifiy one or more timestamps
% <<position-when>>=
% position(J, when = as.Date("2020-05-04") + 0:2)
% @


% \subsection*{Computing P\&L and Returns, and valuing open positions}

% We continue the previous example.
% <<pl>>=
% pl(J)
% @


% pl(along.timestamp, vprice)

% \subsection*{Testing investment strategies}

% <<>>=
% library("PMwR")
% timestamp <- as.Date(row.names(DAX))
% P <- DAX[[1]]

% signal <- function(k) {
%   av <- sum(Close(n = k))/k
%   if (Close() > av)
%     1
%   else
%     -1
% }

% btest(P, signal, k = 5,
%       b = 5)

% single instrument: moving average

% returns in unit of instrument
