Adding binance's "hft" ws feeds has resulted in a lot of context
switching in our Qt charts, so much so it's chewin CPU and definitely
worth it to throttle to the detected display rate as per discussion in
issue #192.
This is a first very very naive attempt at throttling L1 tick feeds on
the `brokerd` end (producer side) using a constant and uniform delivery
rate by way of a `trio` task + mem chan. The new func is
`data._sampling.uniform_rate_send()`. Basically if a client request
a feed and provides a throttle rate we just spawn a task and queue up
ticks until approximately the next display rate's worth period of time
has passed before forwarding. It's definitely nothing fancy but does
provide fodder and a start point for an up and coming queueing eng to
start digging into both #107 and #109 ;)
Avoids some cyclical and confusing import time stuff that we needed to get
DPI aware fonts configured from the active display. Move the main window
singleton into its own module and add a `main_window()` getter for it.
Make `current_screen()` a ``MainWindow` method to avoid so many module
variables.
This moves the entire clearing system to use typed messages using
`pydantic.BaseModel` such that the streamed request-response order
submission protocols can be explicitly viewed in terms of message
schema, flow, and sequencing. Using the explicit message formats we can
now dig into simplifying and normalizing across broker provider apis to
get the best uniformity and simplicity.
The order submission sequence is now fully async: an order request is
expected to be explicitly acked with a new message and if cancellation
is requested by the client before the ack arrives, the cancel message is
stashed and then later sent immediately on receipt of the order
submission's ack from the backend broker. Backend brokers are now
controlled using a 2-way request-response streaming dialogue which is
fully api agnostic of the clearing system's core processing; This
leverages the new bi-directional streaming apis from `tractor`. The
clearing core (emsd) was also simplified by moving the paper engine to
it's own sub-actor and making it api-symmetric with expected `brokerd`
endpoints.
A couple of the ems status messages were changed/added:
'dark_executed' -> 'dark_triggered'
added 'alert_triggered'
More cleaning of old code to come!
This makes the paper engine look IPC-wise exactly like any
broker-provider backend module and uses the new ``trades_dialogue()``
2-way streaming endpoint for commanding order requests.
This serves as a first step toward truly distributed forward testing
since the paper engine can now be run out-of tree from `pikerd` if
needed thus demonstrating how real-time clearing signals can be shared
between fully distinct services.
