After much effort (and exhaustion) but failure to get a view into our
`numpy` OHLC struct-array, this instead allocates an in-thread-memory
array which is updated with flattened data every flow update cycle.
I need to report what I think is a bug to `numpy` core about the whole
view thing not working but, more or less this gets the same behaviour
and minimizes work to flatten the sampled data for line-graphics drawing
thus improving refresh latency when drawing large downsampled curves.
Update the OHLC ds curve with view aware data sliced out from the
pre-allocated and incrementally updated data (we had to add a last index
var `._iflat` to track appends - this should be moved into a renderer
eventually?).
This begins the removal of data processing / analysis methods from the
chart widget and instead moving them to our new `Flow` API (in the new
module introduce here) and delegating the old chart methods to the
respective internal flow. Most importantly is no longer storing the
"last read" of an array from shm in an internal chart table (was
`._arrays`) and instead the `ShmArray` instance is passed as input and
stored in the `Flow` instance. This greatly simplifies lookup logic such
that the display loop now doesn't have to worry about reading shm, it
can be done by internal graphics logic as desired. Generally speaking,
all previous `._arrays`/`._graphics` lookups are now delegated to the
entries in the chart's `._flows` table.
The new `Flow` methods are generally better factored and provide more
detailed output regarding data-stream <-> graphics inter-relations for
the future purpose of allowing much more efficient update calls in the
display loop as well as supporting low latency interaction UX.
The concept here is that we're introducing an intermediary layer that
ties together graphics and real-time data flows such that widget code is
oriented around plot layout and the flow apis are oriented around
real-time low latency updates and providing an efficient high level
metric layer for the UX.
The summary api transition is something like:
- `update_graphics_from_array()` -> `.update_graphics_from_flow()`
- `.bars_range()` -> `Flow.datums_range()`
- `.bars_range()` -> `Flow.datums_range()`
In order to expose more `asyncio` powered `Client` methods to endpoint
task-code this adds a more extensive and layered set of `MethodProxy`
loading routines, in dependency order these are:
- `load_clients_for_trio()` a `tractor.to_asyncio.open_channel_from()`
entry-point factory for loading all scanned clients on the `asyncio` side
and delivering them over the inter-task channel to a `trio`-side task.
- `get_preferred_data_client()` a simple client instance loading routine
which reads from the users `brokers.toml -> `prefer_data_account:
list[str]` which must list account names, in priority order, that are
acceptable to be used as the main "data connection client" such that
only one of the detected clients is used for data (whereas the rest
are used only for order entry).
- `open_client_proxies()` which delivers the detected `Client` set
wrapped each in a `MethodProxy`.
- `open_data_client()` which directly delivers the preferred data client
as a proxy for `trio` tasks.
- update `open_client_method_proxy()` and `open_client_proxy` to require
an input `Client` instance.
Further impl details:
- add `MethodProxy._aio_ns` to ref the original `asyncio` side proxied instance
- add `Client.trades()` to pull executions from the last day/session
- load proxies inside `trades_dialogue` and use the new `.trades()`
method to try and pull a fill ledger for eventual correct pp price
calcs (pertains to #307)..
We return a copy (since since a view doesn't seem to work..) of the
(field filtered) shm array contents which is the same index-length as
the source data.
Further, fence off the resource tracker disable-hack into a helper
routine.
It seems once in a while a frame can get missed or dropped (at least
with binance?) so in those cases, when the request erlangs is already at
max, we just manually request the missing frame and presume things will
work out XD
Further, discard out of order frames that are "from the future" that
somehow end up in the async queue once in a while? Not sure why this
happens but it seems thus far just discarding them is nbd.
Bleh/🤦, the ``end_dt`` in scope is not the "earliest" frame's
`end_dt` in the async response queue.. Parse the queue's latest epoch
and use **that** to compare to the last last pushed datetime index..
Add more detailed logging to help debug any (un)expected datetime index
gaps.
