This was a mess before with a weird loop using the parent split charts
to update all "indicators". Instead just have each plot do its own
yrange updates since the signals are being handled just fine per plot.
Handle both the OHLC and plane line chart cases with a hacky `try:,
except IndexError:` for now.
Oh, and move the main entry point for the chart app to the relevant
module. I added some WIP bar update code for the moment.
Speed up the lines array creation using proper slice assignment.
This gives another 10% speedup to the historical price rendering.
Drop ``_tina_mode`` support for now since we're not testing it.
Previously graphics were loaded and rendered implicitly during the
import and creation of certain objects. Remove all this and instead
expect client code to pass in the OHLC sequence to plot. Speed up
the bars graphics rendering by simplifying to a single iteration of
the input array; gives about a 2x speedup.
Move chart resize code into our ``ViewBox`` subtype (a ``ChartView``)
in an effort to start organizing interaction behaviour closer to the
appropriate underlying objects. Add some docs for all this and do some
renaming.
Modify the default ``ViewBox`` scroll to zoom behaviour such that
whatever right-most point is visible is used as the "center" for
zooming. Add a "traditional" cross-hair cursor.
- Move out equity plotting to new module.
- Make axis margins and fonts look good on i3.
- Adjust axis labels colors to gray.
- Start commenting a lot of the code after figuring out what it all does
when cross referencing with ``pyqtgraph``.
- Add option to move date axis to middle.
Hand select necessary components to get real-time charting with
`pyqtgraph` from the `Quantdom` projects:
https://github.com/constverum/Quantdom
We've offered to collaborate with the author but have received no
response and the project has not been updated in over a year.
Given this, we are moving forward with taking the required components to
make further improvements upon especially since the `pyqtgraph` project
is now being actively maintained again.
If the author comes back we will be more then happy to contribute
modified components upstream:

Relates to #80
Since the new FSP system will require time aligned data amongst actors,
it makes sense to share broker data feeds as much as possible on a local
system. There doesn't seem to be downside to this approach either since
if not fanning-out in our code, the broker (server) has to do it anyway
(and who knows how junk their implementation is) though with more
clients, sockets etc. in memory on our end. It also preps the code for
introducing a more "serious" pub-sub systems like zeromq/nanomessage.
Start a draft normalization format for (sampled) tick data.
Ideally we move toward the dense tick format (DFT) enforced by
techtonicDB, but for now let's just get a dict of something simple
going: `{'type': 'trade', 'price': <price}` kind of thing. This
gets us started being able to real-time chart from all data feed
back-ends. Oh, and hack in support for XAUUSD..and get subactor
logging workin.
Add a `Client.find_contract()` which internally takes
a <symbol>.<exchange> str as input and uses `IB.qualifyContractsAsync()`
internally to try and validate the most likely contract. Make the module
script call this using `asyncio.run()` for console testing.
Infected `asyncio` support is being added to `tractor` in
goodboy/tractor#121 so delegate to all that new machinery.
Start building out an "actor-aware" api which takes care of all the
`trio`-`asyncio` interaction for data streaming and request handling.
Add a little (shudder) method proxy system which can be used to invoke
client methods from another actor. Start on a streaming api in
preparation for real-time charting.
Start working towards meeting the backend client api.
Infect `asyncio` using `trio`'s new guest mode and demonstrate
real-time ticker streaming to console.
