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.

This is something I've been meaning to try for a while and will likely
make writing tick data to a db more straight forward (filling in NaN
values is more matter of fact) plus it should minimize bandwidth usage.
Note, it'll require stream consumers to be considerate of non-full
quotes arriving and thus using the first "full" quote message to fill
out dynamically formatted systems or displays.
For easy testing of questrade historical data from cli.
Re-org the common cli components into a new package to avoid having all
commands defined in a top-level module.
There's some expected limitations with the number of sticks allowed in
a single query (they say 2k but I've been able to pull 20k). Also note
without a paid data sub there's a 15m delay on 1m sticks (we'll hack
around that shortly, don't worry).
Gets us better throughput when polling multiple endpoints (eg. option
and stock quotes simultaneously) since slower round trip request won't
block faster ones when using multiple connections.
- stop displaying search bar widget on <ctrl-c>
- if there's existing search bar content highlight it automatically
to allow user to start typing new content right away
- when activated allow search bar to insert its own set of keybinding
controls; restore prior bindings on exit
Fixes to `tractor` that resolve issues with async generators being
non-task safe make the need for the mutex lock in
`DataFeed.open_stream()` unnecessary. Also, don't bother pushing empty
quotes from the publisher; avoids hitting the network when possible.
Questrade's API is half baked and can't handle concurrency.
It allows multiple concurrent requests to most endpoints *except*
for the auth endpoint used to refresh tokens:
https://www.questrade.com/api/documentation/security
I've gone through extensive dialogue with their API team and despite
making what I think are very good arguments for doing the request
serialization on the server side, they decided that I should instead
do the "locking" on the client side. Frankly it doesn't seem like they
have that competent an engineering department as it took me a long time
to explain the issue even though it's rather trivial and probably not
that hard to fix; maybe it's better this way.
This adds a few things to ensure more reliable token refreshes on
expiry:
- add a `@refresh_token_on_err` decorator which can be used on `_API`
methods that should refresh tokens on failure
- decorate most endpoints with this *except* for the auth ep
- add locking logic for the troublesome scenario as follows:
* every time a request is sent out set a "request in progress" event
variable that can be used to determine when no requests are currently
outstanding
* every time the auth end point is hit in order to refresh tokens set
an event that locks out other tasks from making requests
* only allow hitting the auth endpoint when there are no "requests in
progress" using the first event
* mutex all auth endpoint requests; there can only be one outstanding
- don't hit the accounts endpoint at client startup; we want to
eventually support keys from multiple accounts and you can disable
account info per key and just share the market data function
Adjust feed locking around internal manager `yields` to make this work.
Also, change quote publisher to deliver a list of quotes for each
retrieved batch. This was actually broken for option streaming since
each quote was being overwritten due to a common `key` value for all
expiries. Asjust the `packetizer` function accordingly to work for
both options and stocks.
The pub-sub data feed system was factored into `tractor` as an
experimental api / subsystem. Move to using that which greatly
simplifies the data feed architecture.
Start working toward a more general (on-demand) pub-sub system which
can be brought into ``tractor``. Right now this just means making
the code in the `fan_out_to_ctxs()` less specific but, eventually
I think this function should be coupled with a decorator and shipped
as a standard "message pattern".
Additionally,
- try out making `BrokerFeed` a `@dataclass`
- strip out all the `trio.Event` / uneeded nursery / extra task crap
from `start_quote_stream()`
If quotes are pushed using the adjusted contract symbol (i.e. with
trailing '-1' suffix) the subscriber won't receive them under the
normal symbol. The logic was wrong for determining whether to add
a suffix (was failing for any symbol with an exchange suffix)
which was causing normal data feed subscriptions to fail to match
in every case.
I did some testing of the `optionsIds` parameter to the option quote
endpoint and found that it limits you to 100 symbols so it's not
practical for real-time "all-strike"" chain updating; we have to stick
to filters for now. The only real downside of this is that it seems
multiple filters across multiple symbols is quite latent. I need to
toy with it more to be sure it's not something slow on the client side.
Oh, and store option contract to ids in a `dict` for now as we may want
to try the `optionsIds` thing again down the road as I coordinate with
the QT tech team.
Add some extra fields to each quote that QT should already be
providing (instead of hiding them in the symbol and request contract
info); namely, the expiry and contact type (i.e. put or call).
Define the base set of fields to be displayed in an option chain
UI and add a quote formatter.
Well that was a doozy; had to rejig pretty much all of it.
The deats:
- Track broker components in a new `DataFeed` namedtuple
- port to new list based batch quotes (not dicts any more)
- lock access to cached broker-client / data-feed instantiation
- respawn tasks that fail due to the network
So much changed to get this working for both stocks and options:
- Index contracts by a new `ContractsKey` named tuple
- Move to pushing lists of quotes instead of dicts since option
subscriptions are often not identified by their "symbol" key and
this makes it difficult at fan out time to know how a quote should
be indexed and delivered. Instead add a special `key` entry to each
quote dict which is the quote's subscription key.
Add a couple functions for storing and retrieving live json data feed
recordings to disk using a very rudimentary character + newline delimited
format.
Also, split out the pub-sub logic from `stream_quotes()` into a new
func, `fan_out_to_chans()`. Eventually I want to formalize this pattern
into a decorator exposed through `tractor`.
Makes it easy to request all the option contracts for a particular symbol.
Also, let `option_chain()` accept a `date` arg which can be used to only
retrieve quotes for a single expiry date (much faster then getting all
of them).
Drop all channel/connection handling from the core and break up all the
start up steps into compact and useful functions. The main difference is
the daemon now only needs to worry about spawning per broker streaming
tasks and handling symbol list subscription requests.
When a client loses a connection it will currently need to re-subscribe
for symbols and receive a symbol data summary as a first quote response.
Only run the provided coroutine on reconnect and call the kwarg
`on_reconnect`. The client consuming code is entirely expected at this
point to know how the symbol registration protocol works.
Event if a broker client is already spawned new clients should still
receive a detailed symbol data packet as the first response. Avoid
exposing the new client's queue to the broker (i.e. subscribing it for
quotes) until after first pushing this packet with all bad symbols
filtered out.
Oh boy where to start.
- Handle broken streams in the `StreamQueue` gracefully; terminate the
async generator.
- When a stream queue connection is unwritable discard its subscriptions
inside the quoter task
- If all subscriptions are discarded for a broker then tear down its
quoter task
- Use listener parent nursery for spawning quoter tasks
- Make broker subs data structures global/shared between conn
handler tasks
- Register the `tickers2qs` entry *after* instantiating broker client(s)
(avoids race condition when mulitple client connections are coming
online simultaneously)
- Push smoke quotes to every client not just the first that connects
- Track quoter tasks in a cross-task set
- Handle unsubscriptions more correctly
In order to start working toward a HA distributed
architecture make apps use a `Client` type to talk to daemons.
The `Client` provides fault-tolerance for connection failures such
that the app will continue running until a connection to the original
service can be made or the process is killed. This will make it easier
to simply spawn up new daemon child processes when faults are detected.
Filter out bad symbols by processing an initial batch quote and
pushing to the subscribing client before spawning a quoter task.
This also avoids exposing the quoter task to anything but the
broker module and a `get_quotes()` routine.
Allow client connections to subscribe for quote streams from specific
brokers and spawn broker-client quoter tasks on-demand according
to client connection demands. Support multiple subscribers to a
single daemon process.
Async generators are faster and less code. Handle segmented packets
which can happen during periods of high quote volume. Move per-broker
rate limit logic into daemon task.
Quote queries will hang indefinitely when the network goes down.
Instead poll for network reestablishment such that roaming on
wifi is supported and real-time feeds will resume once the network is
back.
Push all ticker quotes to the queue regardless of duplicate
content. That is, don't worry about only pushing new quote changes
(turns out it is useful when coloring a watchlist where multiple
of the same quote may indicate multiple similar trades and we only
want to quickly "pulse" color changes on value changes).
If it is desired to only push new changes, the ``cache`` flag enables
the old behaviour.
Also add `Client.symbols()` for returning symbol data from a sequence of
tickers.
Add `piker quote <tickerA> <tickerB> <tickerC>` command for easily
dumping quote data to the console. With `-df` will dump as a pandas data
frame. Add key filtering to `piker api` calls.
- Extend the qt api to include candles (not working yet), balances, positions.
- Add a `quote()` method to the `Client` for batch ticker quotes and expose
it through a CLI subcommand.
- Make `poll_tickers` push new quotes to a `trio.Queue`
Add a ``poll_tickers`` coro which can be used to "stream" quotes at
a requested rate. Expose through a cli subcommand `piker stream`.
Drop the `pikerd` command for now.
- colorize json response data in logs
- support ``refresh_token`` retrieval from user if the token for some
reason expires while the client is live
- extend api method support for markets, search, symbols, and quotes
- support "proxying" through api calls via an ``api`` coro for one off
client queries (useful for cli testing)
Store tokens in a local config file avoiding any refresh delay
unless necessary when the current access token expires.
Summary:
- move draft main routine into the `brokers` package mod
- start an api wrapper type
- always write the current access tokens to the config on teardown
