Wait for a first actual real-time quote before starting graphics update
tasks. Use the new normalized tick format brokers are expected to emit
as a `quotes['ticks']` list. Auto detect time frame from historical
bars.
Wrap the sync client in an async interface in anticipation of an actual
async client. This starts support for the `open_fee()`/`stream_quotes()`
api though the tick normalization isn't correct yet.
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 `ChartPlotWidget.add_plot()` to add sub charts for indicators which
can be updated independently. Clean up rt bar update code and drop some
legacy ohlc loading cruft.
Stop with all this "main chart" special treatment.
Manage all lines in the same way across all referenced plots.
Add `CrossHair.add_plot()` for adding new plots dynamically.
Just, smh.
There's really nothing coupling it to the graphics class (which frankly
also seems like it doesn't need to be a class.. Qt).
Add support to `.update_from_array()` for diffing with the input array
and creating additional bar-lines where necessary. Note, there are still
issues with the "correctness" here in terms of bucketing open/close
values in the time frame / bar range. Also, this jamming of each bar's 3
lines into a homogeneous array seems like it could be better done with
struct arrays and avoid all this "index + 3" stuff.
Flat bars have a rendering issue we work around by hacking values in `QLineF`
but we have to revert those on any last bar that is being updated in
real-time. Comment out candle implementations for now; we can get back
to it if/when the tinas unite. Oh, and make bars have a little space
between them.
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.
