The basic stock searcher is a side project that I decided to pursue to learn R Shiny. The app allows the user to input a stock ticker and either choose from pre-determined date ranges (such as the last 3 months, year-to-date, or the last 5 years) or create a custom date range. After that, users would be able to see a graph of the adjusted close price of the ticker for the chosen date range. This graph can be a normal stock chart (line graph), an area chart, or a red-green area chart, that can show whether the adjusted close price has since increased or decreased from the beginning of the date range. In addition, users can see the associated OHLCV data in table format and download this data as a CSV for their personal use. The data is imported using the tidyquant package to retrieve data from Yahoo! Finance.
I've added some pictures to highlight different aspects of the Shiny Webapp, but please feel free to try out the app on your own!
