* ENH: Use regular rounding to calculate order amounts.
We previously tried to prevent accidental over-ordering by truncating
orders down unless they were within 1e-4 of the next higher integer.
Unfortunately, this makes it easy for a sell order to be one share short
of the desired position.
Using regular rounding treats both buys and sells in the same way.
* ENH keep non-rounding behavior consistent, but leave code structured to make easier to override
* DOC make round_order public and describe behavior in docstring
Capital base is included in the sim params, so we should define the
value there, or use the default.
This change also unifies the default capital base as 1e5, as was
previously defined in algorithm.py.
Enable unadjusted history for continuous futures.
The history array is filled by the values for the underlying contracts,
where the contract used changes based on rolls.
e.g., if a `1d` history window was over the range
`2016-01-20` -> `2016-02-29` with contracts with a suffix of `F16` that
rolls at the beginning of the session on `2016-01-26`, `G16` on
`2016-02-26`, and `H16` on `2016-03-26`. The `2016-01-20` ->
`2016-01-25` portion would use the values for `F16', the `2016-01-26` ->
`2016-02-25` portion would use `G16` and the `2016-02-26` ->
`2016-02-29` portion would use `H16`.
Using the same contracts as above, a `1m` history window over the range
(using a timezone of US/Eastern) `2016-01-25 4:00PM` -> `2016-01-25
7:00PM` would fill the `4:00PM` -> `6:00PM` portion with data for `F16`
and the `6:01PM` -> `7:00PM` portion with data for `G16`, since the
beginning of the `2016-01-26` session is `2016-01-25 6:01PM`.
Supports `1d` and `1m`.
Also adds the `sid` field to `history` to assist in showing the active
contract at each dt in the window.
Add the ability for an algorithm to request the current contract for a
future chain via `data.current`.
e.g.:
```
data.current(ContinuousFuture('CL', offset=0, roll='calendar'),
'contract')
```
In favor of a new method `set_restrictions` which takes a Restrictions
object. Calls to `set_do_not_order_list` should raise a deprecation
warning and create an equivalent Restrictions object, with which
`set_restrictions` will be called. For convenience, create a
RestrictionsSet from which the "restrictions" version of a security
list can be accessed
`future_chain` will be replaced by the as yet to be implemented method,
`data.current_chain`
Also removing `FutureChain` which will be replaced by another version
which only supports indexing and iteration.
This reverts commit 5b1aa5ec55.
The paradigm is: we're calculating a new capital base for the
performance period. We are therefore using the total
portfolio_value, not just the cash, to calculate the
difference from the specified target as the algorithm
has meaningful holdings.
If subclasses have additional capital change information that
is required to correctly calculate the target values for
cash capital changes, it can now be provided via
"portfolio_value_adjustment".
No longer auto-updates its internal as-of date, instead requires an explicit
as-of date from the consumer.
Take a static list of contracts (instead of needing an assetfinder).
Instead of the as_of method, the user-facing API now lets you pass in an
offset, which is defined as an integral number of sessions.
Combine the equity and future readers into asset dispatch readers, so
that simulations that use both asset types can access data for each.
This patch enables `history` for future assets in algorithms; however,
it does not add extra coverage in the `test_data_portal` or `test_history`
to cover future assets. Those tests will follow, however putting this in
separately since it shows that the wrapping of the readers in the asset
dispatch reader does not break existing equity strategies.
* First pass.
* Improvements and fixes
- Update usages of BcolzMinuteBarWriter
- Updates with rebuilt example data
- Expose calendar from BcolzMinuteBarMetadata instead of calendar_name
- Keep market_opens and market_closes in metadata for compatibility
* Store start_session and end_session in minute bcolz metadata
- start_session replaces first_trading_day
- Add end_session to limit to correct days
* For last_available_dt, get last close from calendar to maintain tz
* Bumps version and handles earlier versionson read
* Rebuilt example data on python 3
* Indicate metadata fields that are deprecated
When adding fixtures for futures data, there will be a need for multiple
calendars in the fixture ecosystem. e.g. a test that includes both
equities and futures would need an overall calendar which encompasses
both equities and futures; however, the test data for equities should
still still be limited to the bounds set by the NYSE calendar.
Make the fixtures that setup trading calendars and values dervied from
the trading calendar (e.g. trading sessions) accept an iterable of
calendars which need to be created, then populate those values into a
dict keyed by the calendar name.
Change `WithNYSETradingDays` to include sessions in the name,
since we are moving to session as the name for the 'day' unit.
Provide `trading_days` which is really "NYSE trading sessions` on
`WithTradingSessions` for backwards compatibility.
Changes the overlap behavior so that it is an error to write data which
would have two companies holding the same ticker. Other than one test
around which company would win in that case, all the other tests are
passing. That single test has been changed to check the write-time
error.
