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.
To support contracts such as `PL` which should roll from F->J->N->V, add the
ability to pass a predicate function to the ordered contract chain contstrution
which returns `True` if the contract is allowed in the chain.
Protect a case where data is written with a non-zero volume, but a 0/nan for the
OHLC values. The slippage model was relying on a non-zero volume implying that
there was a valid trade price for the corresponding bar. When there was a mismatch,
a transaction with a nan value was created, which would in turn propagate the
nan into portfolio value, which would then cause errors when the portfolio value
was used to size orders during rebalancing.
When data is fixed, can remove.
(Also may want to add behavior to minute bar writer to ensure that 0 volumes
always have corresponding nan ohlc.)
The SecurityList implements a non-exposed method
`current_securities(dt)` which SecurityListRestrictions calls to
determine if an asset is restricted. Deprecate the `__iter__` and
`__contains__` methods of security lists in favor of
`current_securities(dt)`
An ABC Restrictions defines a group of restrictions responsible
for returning restriction information for sids on certain dts. An
InMemoryRestrictions is a point-in-time group of such restrictions,
with all restrictions and their dates passed in upon instantiation.
A StaticRestrictedList takes a list of sids, restricting them at all
dates
For example, to prevent `alpha` from internally calling
`beta` a second time, pass the previously-calculated
`beta` value in.
Requires empyrical 0.1.10 from pypi
Previously, on the dt of a capital change, we use the un-updated
prices to find the ending performance of the previous subperiod and
then got the new prices to determine the portfolio value used to
calculate the delta, without actually updating the performance
before applying the capital change. This logic is confusing and
unintuitive. Instead, save the ending performance as we do previously,
but have temp values for the starting current subperiod value.
Update those temp values after processing the capital change
AlgorithmSimulator will no longer check for capital changes.
Instead, TradingAlgorithm find and calculate the changes, and
PerformanceTracker will apply the changes
Instead of having separate ExchangeCalendar and TradingSchedule objects, we
now just have TradingCalendar. The TradingCalendar keeps track of each
session (defined as a contiguous set of minutes between an open and a close).
It's also responsible for handling the grouping logic of any given minute
to its containing session, or the next/previous session if it's not a market
minute for the given calendar.
