The rolls are already calculated and assigned to `rolls_by_asset` earlier in the
`load_raw_arrays` method, so remove the duplication.
The change should not affect results.
Use `roll_style` not `roll`.
Also, add test case to cover using the session bar reader `get_value`,
by adding a test which uses `close`, since only `contract` was being
exercised, which does not exercise the session daily bar reader.
Add `.adj('mul')` and `.adj('add')` methods on ContinuousFuture, which
when used with `history`, will calculate and apply adjustments so that
the values are adjusted to account for discounts and premiums during
rolls.
Example usage in an algo:
```
from zipline.api import continuous_future
def initialize(context):
context.cl_add = continuous_future('CL', offset=0, roll='calendar').adj('add')
context.cl_mul = continuous_future('CL', offset=0, roll='calendar').adj('mul')
context.cl = continuous_future('CL', offset=0, roll='calendar')
schedule_function(print_history)
def print_history(context, data):
frame = data.history([context.cl, context.cl_add, context.cl_mul],
['price', 'sid'],
20,
'1d')
print 'unadjusted'
print frame.loc[:, :, context.cl]
print 'adjusted add'
print frame.loc[:, :, context.cl_add]
print 'adjusted mul'
print frame.loc[:, :, context.cl_mul]
```
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.
