Tyler Goodlet b694ac2747 WIP get incremental step curve updates working
This took longer then i care to admit XD but it definitely adds a huge
speedup and with only a few outstanding correctness bugs:

- panning from left to right causes strange trailing artifacts in the
  flows fsp (vlm) sub-plot but only when some data is off-screen on the
  left but doesn't appear to be an issue if we keep the `._set_yrange()`
  handler hooked up to the `.sigXRangeChanged` signal (but we aren't
  going to because this makes panning way slower). i've got a feeling
  this is a bug todo with the device coordinate cache stuff and we may
  need to report to Qt core?
- factoring out the step curve logic from
  `FastAppendCurve.update_from_array()` (un)fortunately required some
  logic branch uncoupling but also meant we needed special input controls
  to avoid things like redraws and curve appends for special cases,
  this will hopefully all be better rectified in code when the core of
  this method is moved into a renderer type/implementation.
- the `tina_vwap` fsp curve now somehow causes hangs when doing erratic
  scrolling on downsampled graphics data. i have no idea why or how but
  disabling it makes the issue go away (ui will literally just freeze
  and gobble CPU on a `.paint()` call until you ctrl-c the hell out of
  it). my guess is that something in the logic for standard line curves
  and appends on large data sets is the issue?

Code related changes/hacks:
- drop use of `step_path_arrays_from_1d()`, it was always a bit hacky
  (being based on `pyqtgraph` internals) and was generally hard to
  understand since it returns 1d data instead of the more expected (N,2)
  array of "step levels"; instead this is now implemented (uglily) in
  the `Flow.update_graphics()` block for step curves (which will
  obviously get cleaned up and factored elsewhere).
- add a bunch of new flags to the update method on the fast append
  curve:  `draw_last: bool`, `slice_to_head: int`, `do_append: bool`,
  `should_redraw: bool` which are all controls to aid with previously
  mentioned issues specific to getting step curve updates working
  correctly.
- add a ton of commented tinkering related code (that we may end up
  using) to both the flow and append curve methods that was written as
  part of the effort to get this all working.
- implement all step curve updating inline in `Flow.update_graphics()`
  including prepend and append logic for pre-graphics incremental step
  data maintenance and in-view slicing as well as "last step" graphics
  updating.

Obviously clean up commits coming stat B)

piker

trading gear for hackers.

gh_actions

piker is a broker agnostic, next-gen FOSS toolset for real-time computational trading targeted at hardcore Linux users .

we use as much bleeding edge tech as possible including (but not limited to):

focus and features:

  • 100% federated: your code, your hardware, your data feeds, your broker fills.
  • zero web: low latency, native software that doesn't try to re-invent the OS
  • maximal privacy: prevent brokers and mms from knowing your planz; smack their spreads with dark volume.
  • zero clutter: modal, context oriented UIs that echew minimalism, reduce thought noise and encourage un-emotion.
  • first class parallelism: built from the ground up on next-gen structured concurrency primitives.
  • traders first: broker/exchange/asset-class agnostic
  • systems grounded: real-time financial signal processing that will make any queuing or DSP eng juice their shorts.
  • non-tina UX: sleek, powerful keyboard driven interaction with expected use in tiling wms
  • data collaboration: every process and protocol is multi-host scalable.
  • fight club ready: zero interest in adoption by suits; no corporate friendly license, ever.

fitting with these tenets, we're always open to new framework suggestions and ideas.

building the best looking, most reliable, keyboard friendly trading platform is the dream; join the cause.

install

piker is currently under heavy pre-alpha development and as such should be cloned from this repo and hacked on directly.

for a development install:

git clone git@github.com:pikers/piker.git
cd piker
virtualenv env
source ./env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt -e .

install for tinas

for windows peeps you can start by getting conda installed and the C++ build toolz on your system.

then, crack a conda shell and run the following commands:

conda create piker --python=3.9
conda activate piker
conda install pip
pip install --upgrade setuptools
cd dIreCToRieZ\oF\cODez\piker\
pip install -r requirements -e .

in order to look coolio in front of all ur tina friends (and maybe want to help us with testin, hackzing or configgin), install vscode and setup a coolio tiled wm console so you can start living the life of the tech literate..

provider support

for live data feeds the in-progress set of supported brokers is:

  • IB via ib_insync
  • binance and kraken for crypto over their public websocket API
  • questrade (ish) which comes with effectively free L1

coming soon...

if you want your broker supported and they have an API let us know.

check out our charts

bet you weren't expecting this from the foss:

piker -l info -b kraken -b binance chart btcusdt.binance --pdb

this runs the main chart (currently with 1m sampled OHLC) in in debug mode and you can practice paper trading using the following micro-manual:

order_mode (

edge triggered activation by any of the following keys, mouse-click on y-level to submit at that price ):

  • f/ ctl-f to stage buy
  • d/ ctl-d to stage sell
  • a to stage alert
search_mode (

ctl-l or ctl-space to open, ctl-c or ctl-space to close ) :

  • begin typing to have symbol search automatically lookup symbols from all loaded backend (broker) providers
  • arrow keys and mouse click to navigate selection
  • vi-like ctl-[hjkl] for navigation

you can also configure your position allocation limits from the sidepane.

run in distributed mode

start the service manager and data feed daemon in the background and connect to it:

pikerd -l info --pdb

connect your chart:

piker -l info -b kraken -b binance chart xmrusdt.binance --pdb

enjoy persistent real-time data feeds tied to daemon lifetime. the next time you spawn a chart it will load much faster since the data feed has been cached and is now always running live in the background until you kill pikerd.

if anyone asks you what this project is about

you don't talk about it.

how do i get involved?

enter the matrix.

how come there ain't that many docs

suck it up, learn the code; no one is trying to sell you on anything. also, we need lotsa help so if you want to start somewhere and can't necessarily write serious code, this might be the place for you!
