I continued with your example to see if I could figure out
how to add another symbol to the portfolio, and generate
orders for that symbol from a signal that is based on a
different symbol.  I didn't get far unfortunately; in the
context of the previous example, I created a different
time series :
# copy the original series and create a second ticker
TU = xts(values, as.Date(alldates))
colnames(TU) <- 'TU'

# Then added it to the portfolio
currency("USD")                                                                 
                                                           
 
symbols = 
c("FV","TU")                                                                    
                                                 
 
for(symbol in symbols){ # establish trade-able 
instruments                                                                     
            
 
    stock(symbol, currency="USD",multiplier=1)
}


Then I sourced the resulting script in R. It went through some dates
apparently, and then died:
