The question’s use of the xts
function is incorrect but it doesn’t really matter since xts cannot represent that sort of data in the first place. xts requires an index class that represents dates or date/times such as Date
or POSIXct
but here we have plain numbers. Create a zoo series instead.
library(zoo)
# test data
INTC <- data.frame(ts = 930:935, close = 18.55)
z <- read.zoo(INTC); z
## 930 931 932 933 934 935
## 18.55 18.55 18.55 18.55 18.55 18.55
