R and Metatrader 4

Question

R has a great way of collecting data from other sources (eg Yahoo finance etc)

library(quantmod)
getSymbols("YHOO",src="google") 

Is there a way of collecting Metatrader 4 into R

eg:

library(*******)
getSymbols("***",period=1hr, src="Metatrader4") 

Amenity

getSymbols("YHOO",src="google") donwload data from this url. if Metatrader offer the same free service it is easy to implement this source but obviously it is not a free service. So the answer is probably you can't collect data from Metatrader source. – Vehemence
