To fix the grouping of events so that (dt, events) ordering
is preserved, the tracking of order states needs to change
in the following way.
Change how order keeps track of dates:
- Change order's dt field to reflect modified date.
- Add a created field.
Change how performance keeps track of orders by:
- Map dt to transactions
- Map dt to orders
- Map order ids to keep track of updated orders.
The emission of order updates from the blotter were incorrect,
and subsequently, performance.
Previously, only the first action of the order was emitted,
fix so that all status updates are emitted.
The use of np.allclose introduced a severe performance penalty,
caused by the creation of two `np.array`s for each check.
Instead create and use a similar check which maintains tolerance
to floating point rounding, but operates only on scalars.
- Add transaction and order types
- Move TransactionSimulator from trading.py to tradesimulation.py
(only used by other members of the tradesimulation module)
- Make Transaction an independent event, like dividend
- Add Blotter class.
- Flatten the transaction events to be independent of trade bar events
- Make orders into events that reach performance (need to add
handling)
- Issue IDs to orders and tracking each transaction's order id.
- Make volume share slippage fill orders independently, rather than
aggregating them into a single transaction.
- Perf tracker holds orders, serializes them with transactions.
- Order state defined and maintained by order class.
- Minutely emission of orders based on last_modified date.
So that Transaction object behavior is exercised, uses the Transaction
object in performance module tests instead of ndict.
Also, adds fields to the __init__ of Transaction, to make the
definition of the object more well defined.
Instead of using division of the amount by itself to extract
the direction, uses math's copysign.
Should be almost functionally equivalent,
but copysign won't have a possible floating point error leading
the direction to not be exactly 1.
The latest flake8 release in now 1.5, which pulls in pep8: 1.3.4a0
The upgrade pep8 has changes to what it picks up as lint.
Making code base compatible, so that new devs can install pep8
from PyPI and not have friction over the version difference.
Currently using these ignores in the config file:
```
[pep8]
ignore = E124,E125,E126
```
Ignoring these since they are difficult to squash while maintaining
an 80 char line length, and appear spurious.
Should address later.
Updates Travis config, README, and pip requirements to reflect change.
Removes TRANSFORM_TYPE from protocol, since it is unused.
Also, removes use of ndict as a member of protocol, since it's
import there was for the TRANSFORM_TYPE. Changed to
utils.protocol_utils instead.
Changes our filter so that instead of just checking for the current
day, we ensure that orders are before or on the current event time.
This adds a delay, (defaulting to one minute), to the order so that we
avoid filling an order exactly when it is placed.
So that we don't replace the orders variable with the list comp.
No functional change, but easier to compare the original and the
results of the list comp when debugging.
Expiration is something that way may want to have in the future,
but this current is implementation is dropping orders that
aren't meant to be expired. So removing expiration, so that all
expected orders are executed.
The .day member of datetime only gives the number of the day of the
year, which is insufficient when checking for < than.
However in this use, we may just want to check for an 'not equals'
Mostly whitespace, line width and other spacing changes.
Also, removes use of deprecated has_key in favor of `in`
Going forward new patches should pass running `flake8` before
submission.
