Creating Two Separate Y-Scales in R Quantmod Using latticeExtra Package
Creating Two Separate Y-Scales with R quantmod As a trader or investor, visualizing your trading strategy on the same chart as the currency pair can be extremely helpful in understanding its performance. However, when dealing with large values for the trading strategy (such as an initial capital of $10,000) and smaller values for the currency pair (hovering around 1.5), having two separate Y-scales becomes a necessity. In this article, we will explore how to achieve this using R quantmod by leveraging the latticeExtra package.
