Description

Ok finally found time to create reproducible example on this error which I seem to encounter randomly. On most periods zoom_Chart works but sometimes I get this error:

> Error in plot.window(c(1, 61), c(NaN, NaN)) : need finite 'ylim' values
> In addition: Warning messages:
> 1: In min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf
> 2: In max(x) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf

And here is my reproducible example:

```
library(blotter);

currency("USD");

stock("SPY",currency="USD",multiplier=1);

initDate <- '2006-01-01';
startDate <- '2006-01-01';
endDate <- '2016-03-16';
initEq <- 10000;

Sys.setenv(TZ = "UTC");

getSymbols('SPY', from=startDate, to=endDate, index.class="POSIXct", adjust=T)

addTxn("TEST", Symbol='SPY', TxnDate=startDate, TxnPrice=SPY[1,]$SPY.Close, TxnQty = 100, TxnFees=0, verbose = TRUE)

chart.Posn("TEST", Symbol = 'SPY')
zoom_Chart("2008-01::2008-03")
```

Research direction

Run the supplied R example with chart.Posn("TEST", Symbol = 'SPY') and zoom_Chart("2008-01::2008-03") to reproduce the non-finite ylim error. Trace those entry points to determine why the selected period has no finite values, then verify that zooming this period completes without the error or warnings.
