Instead of uniformly distributing the msg send rate for a given
aggregate subscription, choose to be more bursty around clearing ticks
so as to avoid saturating the consumer with L1 book updates and vs.
delivering real trade data as-fast-as-possible.
Presuming the consumer is in the "UI land of slow" (eg. modern display
frame rates) such an approach serves more useful for seeing "material
changes" in the market as-bursty-as-possible (i.e. more short lived fast
changes in last clearing price vs. many slower changes in the bid-ask
spread queues). Such an approach also lends better to multi-feed
overlays which in aggregate tend to scale linearly with the number of
feeds/overlays; centralization of bursty arrival rates allows for
a higher overall throttle rate if used cleverly with framing.
Factor out the chart widget creation since it's only executed once
during rendering of the first feed/flow whilst keeping plotitem overlay
creation inside the (flume oriented) init loop. Only create one vlm and
FSP chart/chain for now until we figure out if we want FSPs overlayed by
default or selected based on the "front" symbol in use. Add a default
color-palette set using shades of gray when plotting overlays. Presume
that the display loop's quote throttle rate should be uniformly
distributed over all input symbol-feeds for now. Restore feed pausing on
mouse interaction.
Allows using `set` ops for subscription management and guarantees no
duplicates per `brokerd` actor. New API is simpler for dynamic
pause/resume changes per `Feed`:
- `_FeedsBus.add_subs()`, `.get_subs()`, `.remove_subs()` all accept multi-sub
`set` inputs.
- `Feed.pause()` / `.resume()` encapsulates management of *only* sending
a msg on each unique underlying IPC msg stream.
Use new api in sampler task.
Before this axes were being stacked from the outside in (for `'right'`
and 'bottom'` axes) which is somewhat non-intuitive for an `.append()`
operation. As such this change makes a symbol list stack a set of
`'right'` axes from left-to-right.
Details:
- rename `ComposeGridLayout.items` -> `.pitems`
- return `(int, list[AxisItem])` pairs from `.insert/append_plotitem()`
and the down stream `PlotItemOverlay.add_plotitem()`.
- drop `PlotItemOverlay.overlays` and add it back as `@property` around
the underlying `.layout.pitems`.
Initial support for real-time multi-symbol overlay charts using an
aggregate feed delivered by `Feed.open_multi_stream()`.
The setup steps for constructing the overlayed plot items is still very
very rough and will likely provide incentive for better refactoring high
level "charting APIs". For each fqsn passed into `display_symbol_data()`
we now synchronously,
- create a single call to `LinkedSplits.plot_ohlc_main() -> `ChartPlotWidget`
where we cache the chart in scope and for all other "sibling" fqsns
we,
- make a call to `ChartPlotWidget.overlay_plotitem()` -> `PlotItem`, hide its axes,
make another call with this plotitem input to
`ChartPlotWidget.draw_curve()`, set a sym-specific view box auto-yrange maxmin callback,
register the plotitem in a global `pis: dict[str, list[pgo.PlotItem, pgo.PlotItem]] = {}`
Once all plots have been created we then asynchronously for each symbol,
- maybe create a volume chart and register it in a similar task-global
table: `vlms: dict[str, ChartPlotWidget] = {}`
- start fsp displays for each symbol
Then common entrypoints are entered once for all symbols:
- a single `graphics_update_loop()` loop-task is started wherein
real-time graphics update components for each symbol are created,
* `L1Labels`
* y-axis last clearing price stickies
* `maxmin()` auto-ranger
* `DisplayState` (stored in a table `dss: dict[str, DisplayState] = {}`)
* an `increment_history_view()` task
and a single call to `Feed.open_multi_stream()` is used to create
a symbol-multiplexed quote stream which drives a single loop over all
symbols wherein for each quote the appropriate components are looked
up and passed to `graphics_update_cycle()`.
- a single call to `open_order_mode()` is made with the first symbol
provided as input, though eventually we want to support passing in the
entire list.
Further internal implementation details:
- special tweaks to the `pg.LinearRegionItem` setup wherein the region
is added with a zero opacity and *after* all plotitem overlays to
avoid and issue where overlays weren't being shown within the region
area in the history chart.
- all symbol-specific graphics oriented update calls are adjusted to
pass in the fqsn:
* `update_fsp_chart()`
* `ChartView._set_yrange()`
* ChartPlotWidget.update_graphics_from_flow()`
- avoid a double increment on sample step updates by not calling the
increment on any vlm chart since it seems the vlm-ohlc chart linking
already takes care of this now?
- use global counters for the last epoch time step to avoid incrementing
all views more then once per new time step given underlying shm array
buffers may be on different array-index values from one another.
Main "public" API change is to make `GodWidget.get/set_chart_symbol()`
accept and cache-on fqsn tuples to allow handling overlayed chart groups
and adjust method names to be plural to match.
Wrt `LinkedSplits`,
- create all chart widget axes with a `None` plotitem argument and set
the `.pi` field after axis creation (since apparently we have another
object reference causality dilemma..)
- set a monkeyed `PlotItem.chart_widget` for use in axes that still need
the widget reference.
- drop feed pause/resume for now since it's leaking feed tasks on the
`brokerd` side and we probably don't really need it any more, and if
we still do it should be done on the feed not the flume.
Wrt `ChartPlotItem`,
- drop `._add_sticky()` and use the `Axis` method instead and add some
overlay + axis sanity checks.
- refactor `.draw_ohlc()` to be a lighter wrapper around a call to
`.add_plot()`.
We have this method on our `ChartPlotWidget` but it makes more sense to
directly associate axis-labels with, well, the label's parent axis XD.
We add `._stickies: dict[str, YAxisLabel]` to replace
`ChartPlotWidget._ysticks` and pass in the `pg.PlotItem` to each axis
instance, stored as `Axis.pi` instead of handing around linked split
references (which are way out of scope for a single axis).
More work needs to be done to remove dependence on `.chart:
ChartPlotWidget` references in the date axis type as per comments.
Seems that by default their history indexing rounds down/back to the
previous time step, so make sure we add a minute inside `Client.bars()`
when the `end_dt=None`, indicating "get the latest bar". Add
a breakpoint block that should trigger whenever the latest bar vs. the
latest epoch time is mismatched; we'll remove this after some testing
verifying the history bars issue is resolved.
Further this drops the legacy `backfill_bars()` endpoint which has been
deprecated and unused for a while.
Instead of requiring any `-b` try to import all built-in broker backend
python modules by default and only load those detected from the input symbol
list's fqsn values. In other words the `piker chart` cmd can be run sin
`-b` now and that flag is only required if you only want to load
a subset of the built-ins or are trying to load a specific
not-yet-builtin backend.
Allows using `set` ops for subscription management and guarantees no
duplicates per `brokerd` actor. New API is simpler for dynamic
pause/resume changes per `Feed`:
- `_FeedsBus.add_subs()`, `.get_subs()`, `.remove_subs()` all accept multi-sub
`set` inputs.
- `Feed.pause()` / `.resume()` encapsulates management of *only* sending
a msg on each unique underlying IPC msg stream.
Use new api in sampler task.
Previously we would only detect overruns and drop subscriptions on
non-throttled feed subs, however you can get the same issue with
a wrapping throttler task:
- the intermediate mem chan can be blocked either by the throttler task
being too slow, in which case we still want to warn about it
- the stream's IPC channel actually breaks and we still want to drop
the connection and subscription so it doesn't be come a source of
stale backpressure.
Set each quote-stream by matching the provider for each `Flume` and thus
results in some flumes mapping to the same (multiplexed) stream.
Monkey-patch the equivalent `tractor.MsgStream._ctx: tractor.Context` on
each broadcast-receiver subscription to allow use by feed bus methods as
well as other internals which need to reference IPC channel/portal info.
Start a `_FeedsBus` subscription management API:
- add `.get_subs()` which returns the list of tuples registered for the
given key (normally the fqsn).
- add `.remove_sub()` which allows removing by key and tuple value and
provides encapsulation for sampler task(s) which deal with dropped
connections/subscribers.
