It not only shows how you can use HMM for financial modelling but it also goes through the actual estimation algorithm (Baum-Welch) step-by-step and even gives full MATLAB-code.

Have a look at the following two papers, one from Chris Rogers and Liang Zhang where they introduce a model using HMM which captures stylized facts of financial returns. And the second where we extended this model to risk measures.
Implementation in R is strait forward using ML as mentioned in the paper.
