Pretty sure this was most of the cause of the stale (more downsampled)
curves showing when zooming in and out from bars mode quickly. All this
stuff needs to get factored out into a new abstraction anyway, but
i think this get's mostly correct functionality.
Only draw new ds curve on uppx steps >= 4 and stop adding/removing
graphics objects from the scene; doesn't seem to speed anything up
afaict. Add better reporting of ds scale changes.
Only if the uppx increases by more then 2 we redraw the entire line
otherwise just ds with previous params and update the current curve.
This *should* avoid strange lower sample rate artefacts from showing on
updates.
Summary:
- stash both uppx and px width in `._dsi` (downsample info)
- use the new `ohlc_to_m4_line()` flags
- add notes about using `.reserve()` and friends
- always delete last `._array` ref prior to line updates
In an effort to try and make `QPainterPath.reserve()` work, add internal
logic to use the same object without de-allocating memory from
a previous path write/creation.
Note this required the addition of a `._redraw` flag (to be used in
`.clear()` and a small patch to `pyqtgraph.functions.arrayToQPath` to
allow passing in an existing path (thus reusing the same underlying mem
alloc) which will likely be first pushed to our fork.
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
`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.
- the chart's uppx (units-per-pixel) is > 4 (i.e. zoomed out a lot)
- don't shift the chart (to keep the most recent step in view) if the
last datum isn't in view (aka the user is probably looking at history)
When a bars graphic is zoomed out enough you get a high uppx, datum
units-per-pixel, and there is no point in drawing the 6-lines in each
bar element-graphic if you can't see them on the screen/display device.
Instead here we offer converting to a `FastAppendCurve` which traces
the high-low outline and instead display that when it's impossible to see the
details of bars - approximately when the uppx >= 2.
There is also some draft-commented code in here for downsampling the
outlines as zoom level increases but it's not fully working and should
likely be factored out into a higher level api anyway.
In effort to start getting some graphics speedups as detailed in #109,
this adds a `FastAppendCurve`to every `BarItems` as a `._ds_line` which
is only displayed (instead of the normal mult-line bars curve) when the
"width" of a bar is indistinguishable on screen from a line -> so once
the view coordinates map to > 2 pixels on the display device.
`BarItems.maybe_paint_line()` takes care of this scaling detection logic and is
called by the associated view's `.sigXRangeChanged` signal handler.
The graphics update loop is much easier to grok when all the UI
components which potentially need to be updated on a cycle are arranged
together in a high-level composite namespace, thus this new
`DisplayState` addition. Create and set this state on each
`LinkedSplits` chart set and add a new method `.graphics_cycle()` which
let's a caller trigger a graphics loop update manually. Use this method
in the fsp graphics manager such that a chain can update new history
output even if there is no real-time feed driving the display loop (eg.
when a market is "closed").
As per https://github.com/erdewit/ib_insync/pull/454 the more correct
way to do this is with `.reqContractDetailsAsync()` which we wrap with
`Client.con_deats()` and which works just as well. Further drop all the
`dict`-ifying that was being done in that method and instead always
return `ContractDetails` object in an fqsn-like explicitly keyed `dict`.
ib has a throttle limit for "hft" bars but contained in here is some
hackery using ``xdotool`` to reset data farms auto-magically B)
This copies the working script into the ib backend mod as a routine and
now uses `trio.run_process()` and calls into it from the `get_bars()`
history retriever and then waits for "data re-established" events to be
received from the client before making more history queries.
TL;DR summary of changes:
- relay ib's "system status" events (like for data farm statuses)
as a new "event" msg that can be processed by registers of
`Client.inline_errors()` (though we should probably make a new
method for this).
- add `MethodProxy.status_event()` which allows a proxy user to register
for a particular "system event" (as mentioned above), which puts
a `trio.Event` entry in a small table can be set by an relay task if
there are any detected waiters.
- start a "msg relay task" when opening the method proxy which does
the event setting mentioned above in the background.
- drop the request error handling around the proxy creation, doesn't
seem necessary any more now that we have better error propagation from
`asyncio`.
- add event waiting logic around the data feed reset hackzorin.
- change the order relay task to only log system events for now (though
we need to do some better parsing/logic to get tws-external order
updates to work again..
Found an issue (that was predictably brushed aside XD) where the
`ib_insync.util.df()` helper was changing the timestamps on bars data to
be way off (probably a `pandas.Timestamp` timezone thing?).
Anyway, dropped all that (which will hopefully let us drop `pandas` as
a hard dep) and added a buncha timestamp checking as well as start/end
datetime return values using `pendulum` so that consumer code can know
which "slice" is output.
Also added some WIP code to work around "no history found" request
errors where instead now we try to increment backward another 200
seconds - not sure if this actually correct yet.
Make the throttle error propagate through to `trio` again by adding
`dict`-msg support between the two loops such that errors can be
re-raised on the `trio` side. This is all integrated into the
`MethoProxy` and accompanying result relay task.
Further fix a longer standing issue where sometimes the `ib_insync`
order entry method will raise a weird assertion error because it detects
some internal order-id state issue.. Just ignore those and make relay
back an error to the ems in such cases.
Add a bunch of notes for todos surrounding data feed reset hackery.
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
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)
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
