We were previously ad-hoc scaling up the px count/width to get more
detail at lower uppx values. Add a log scaling sigmoid that range scales
between 1 < px_width < 16.
Add in a flag to use the mxmn OH tracer in `ohlc_flatten()` if desired.
Helpers to quickly convert ohlc struct-array sequences into lines
for consumption by the m4 downsampler. Strip trailing zero entries
from the `ds_m4()` output if found (avoids lines back to origin).
This makes the `'r'` hotkey snap the last bar to the middle of the pp
line arrow marker no matter the zoom level. Now we also boot with
approximately the most number of x units on screen that keep the bars
graphics drawn in full (just before downsampling to a line).
Moved some internals around to get this all in place,
- drop `_anchors.marker_right_points()` and move it to a chart method.
- change `.pre_l1_x()` -> `.pre_l1_xs()` and just have it return the
two view-mapped x values from the former method.
Instead of using a guess about how many x-indexes to reset the last
datum in-view to, calculate and shift the latest index such that it's
just before any L1 spread labels on the y-axis. This makes the view
placement "widget aware" and gives a much more cross-display UX.
Summary:
- add `ChartPlotWidget.pre_l1_x()` which returns a `tuple` of
x view-coord points for the absolute x-pos and length of any L1
line/labels
- make `.default_view()` only shift to see the xlast just outside
the l1 but keep whatever view range xfirst as the first datum in view
- drop `LevelLine.right_point()` since this is now just a
`.pre_l1_x()` call and can be retrieved from the line's internal chart
ref
- drop `._style.bars_from/to_..` vars since we aren't using hard coded
offsets any more
Use fqsn as input to the client-side EMS apis but strip broker-name
stuff before generating and sending `Brokerd*` msgs to each backend for
live order requests (since it's weird for a backend to expect it's own
name, though maybe that could be a sanity check?).
Summary of fqsn use vs. broker native keys:
- client side pps, order requests and general UX for order management
use an fqsn for tracking
- brokerd side order dialogs use the broker-specific symbol which is
usually nearly the same key minus the broker name
- internal dark book and quote feed lookups use the fqsn where possible
In order to support instruments with lifetimes (aka derivatives) we need
generally need special symbol annotations which detail such meta data
(such as `MNQ.GLOBEX.20220717` for daq futes). Further there is really
no reason for the public api for this feed layer to care about getting
a special "brokername" field since generally the data is coming directly
from UIs (eg. search selection) so we might as well accept a fqsn (fully
qualified symbol name) which includes the broker name; for now a suffix
like `'.ib'`. We may change this schema (soon) but this at least gets us
to a point where we expect the full name including broker/provider.
An additional detail: for certain "generic" symbol names (like for
futes) we will pull a so called "front contract" and map this to
a specific fqsn underneath, so there is a double (cached) entry for that
entry such that other consumers can use it the same way if desired.
Some other machinery changes:
- expect the `stream_quotes()` endpoint to deliver it's `.started()` msg
almost immediately since we now need it deliver any fqsn asap (yes
this means the ep should no longer wait on a "live" first quote and
instead deliver what quote data it can right away.
- expect the quotes ohlc sampler task to add in the broker name before
broadcast to remote (actor) consumers since the backend isn't (yet)
expected to do that add in itself.
- obviously we start using all the new fqsn related `Symbol` apis
To start we only have futes working but this allows both searching
and loading multiple expiries of the same instrument by specifying
different expiries with a `.<expiry>` suffix in the symbol key (eg.
`mnq.globex.20220617`). This also paves the way for options contracts
which will need something similar plus a strike property. This change
set also required a patch to `ib_insync` to allow retrieving multiple
"ambiguous" contracts from the `IB.reqContractDetailsAcync()` method,
see https://github.com/erdewit/ib_insync/pull/454 for further discussion
since the approach here might change.
This patch also includes a lot of serious reworking of some `trio`-`asyncio`
integration to use the newer `tractor.to_asyncio.open_channel_from()`
api and use it (with a relay task) to open a persistent connection with
an in-actor `ib_insync` `Client` mostly for history requests.
Deats,
- annot the module with a `_infect_asyncio: bool` for `tractor` spawning
- add a futes venu list
- support ambiguous futes contracts lookups so that all expiries will
show in search
- support both continuous and specific expiry fute contract
qualification
- allow searching with "fqsn" keys
- don't crash on "data not found" errors in history requests
- move all quotes msg "topic-key" generation (which should now be
a broker-specific fqsn) and per-contract quote processing into
`normalize()`
- set the fqsn key in the symbol info init msg
- use `open_client_proxy()` in bars backfiller endpoint
- include expiry suffix in position update keys
`ChartPlotWidget.curve_width_pxs()` now can be used to get the total
horizontal (x) pixels on screen that are occupied by the current curve
graphics for a given chart. This will be used for downsampling large
data sets to the pixel domain using M4.
Probably the best place to root the profiler since we can get a better
top down view of bottlenecks in the graphics stack.
More,
- add in draft M4 downsampling code (commented) after getting it mostly
working; next step is to move this processing into an FSP subactor.
- always update the vlm chart last y-axis sticky
- set call `.default_view()` just before inf sleep on startup
Obviously determining the x-range from indices was wrong and was the
reason for the incorrect (downsampled) output size XD. Instead correctly
determine the x range and start value from the *values of* the input
x-array. Pretty sure this makes the implementation nearly production
ready.
Relates to #109
All the refs are in the comments and original sample code from infinite
has been reworked to expect the input x/y arrays to already be sliced
(though we can later support passing in the start-end indexes if
desired).
The new routines are `ds_m4()` the python top level API and `_m4()` the
fast `numba` implementation.
This adds a new client manager-factory: `open_client_proxy()` which uses
the newer `tractor.to_asyncio.open_channel_from()` (and thus the
inter-loop-task-channel style) a `aio_client_method_relay()` and
a re-implemented `MethodProxy` wrapper to allow transparently calling
`asyncio` client methods from `trio` tasks. Use this proxy in the
history backfiller task and add a new (prototype)
`open_history_client()` which will be used in the new storage management
layer. Drop `get_client()` which was the portal wrapping equivalent of
the same proxy but with a one-task-per-call approach. Oh, and
`Client.bars()` can take `datetime`, so let's use it B)
