Make sure to thank Excel for "helping" you by reformatting that column. ;-)

Thanks Joshua. The date column of a security loaded via getSymbols.csv was reformatted when I opened and saved the csv. All is well now.

You may not have changed your script, but it seems very odd that you have been running backtests for 6 months without updating your data set. Even if you haven't updated your data, you likely have updated R itself and/or any of the packages your script uses. Any of those changes could be the source of your issue.

That's all I can say without a reproducible example. I personally suspect an issue with your script and/or data.

I have been running backtests in Blotter for 6 months with no issues and have not changed the input or logic that drives transactions. As shown below, after adding the first transaction and then attempting to update portfolio I get the following error:

Error in merge.xts(tmpPL, Prices) : 'NA' not allowed in 'index'
