Syntax

hist = getyearlytail(connection, symbol, years, leadLag, currency, currencySource, unit)

Description

hist = getyearlytail(connection, symbol, years, leadLag, currency, currencySource, unit) takes a connection created using a call to gvconnect, symbol and a number of years, plus other optional parameters and returns a standard Matlab tscollection object with last N years of history data.

Optional parameter leadLag controls how much the data will be shifted into the future or past. Currency and currency source control currency conversions, and the unit parameter contols unit coversions.

Examples

>> ts = getyearlytail(con,'/GCL',10)
Time Series Collection Object: /GCL
