The bar timestamps for day start and finish, for NYSE traded stocks,
should be 9:31 AM EST to 4:00 PM EST, for a total of 390 minutes.
Fix starting at 9:30 AM and the creation of 391 bars.
Instead of creating a list of benchmarks in the risk module,
stream benchmarks through the system as events, starting from the
algorithm generator.
Works towards more easily setting arbritrary pricing data as
a a benchmark, as well as working towards live minutely benchmarks.
- 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.
Also, fix double emission of performance results with the last minute.
Change the perf tracker unit tests so that it doesn't rely on an
'extra' event triggering emission.
Unlike daily, minute emission now emits at the end of the bar in
the PerformanceTracker.transform instead of waiting for the next event.
Prevent an extra performance result with the timestamp of the midnight of
the day from being emitted.
Fix by setting the `saved_dt` value with the dt of the first event,
before entering into the main performance loop, otherwise a performance
result with a midnight timestamp and data from just the first event is
emitted.
The `test_multi_source_as_input_no_start_end` test is designed
to test for a lack of simulation parameters, so make that they are
not passed.
Was unnoticed because sim_params passed as an arg are dropped.
The start and end of the simulation parameters should be 'normalized'
i.e. midnight timestamped.
However, the algorithm tests were using the timestamp of the
first and last trade, which were in market times,
i.e. 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM EST.
Fix passing the sim_params that is used to create the trade_history,
instead of having the sim_params inferred from the source.
(Also may want to consider fixing the logic that infers the date
range from the sources provided.)
Also, add a `num_days` option to `factory.create_simulation_parameters`
so that the a date range that covers the desired number of days is covered.
Since the default sim_params were covering a year, while the test only
supplies 4 values, causing an alignment issue with the record test,
since a years worth of results were returned, but there were only 4 events.
The intraday performance results were emitting all transactions
for the entire day up to that point, instead of the desired transaction
list for the current timestamp.
Add a `dt` parameter to the `to_dict` method of PerformancePeriod so
that the transactions are limited to a specific datetime.
When the parameter is `None`, a todays_performance object will
function as previously with returning all transactions for the day.

The treasury_duration member in RiskMetrics is never used except
for in unit tests.
Remove the saving of treasury_duration in preparation for the
move of the choose_treasury method out of the RiskMetrics classes.
Down the line, if we do restore the sanving of treasury_duration,
choose_treasury can return a tuple that includes treasury_duration
instead of just returning the rate.
In the test factory creation of returns, the date creation was using
a timedelta of one day instead of incrementing by trading days.
Working towards changing risk module behavior which would leverage
the trading day map, but tests fail because non-trading days are
created.
Remove `factory.create_returns`, moving uses of that function to us
`factory.create_returns_from_period`, since the number of days input
for `create_returns` was more difficult to use when specifying ranges
over arbirtray dates.
So that the environments' exchange time is used without having to
specify it independently.
Also, moves uses of Delorean.shift for the exchange conversion inside
of environment to use the exchange_dt_to_utc method.
Wires up performance tracker so that when `emission_rate` is set
to `minute`, the performance packets are sent out every minute,
instead of once per day.
Please note, the performance packets that are generated are not
ready for prime time consumption, this patch is merely a step towards
hooking up the ability to inspect minute data.
Known issues:
- The packets do not currently include risk information.
Since we need to consider how this affects the denominators
of the risk calculations.
In preparation of changing how risk metrics are calculated,
this makes the checking of results more tolerant to floating point
rounding, since upcoming changes change the results by a neglible margin.
Converts the risk iterative and batch comparison tests to use
the trading environments next date, instead of just advancing by day,
so that the returns being passed into the RiskMetrics in the unit
test are using the same trading calendar as the internal checks for
trading days.
Fixes a case where empty return periods were being into
`calculate_period_returns`
Clearing the way for the pandas based optimization of the risk module.
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 a loosely defined object for Order, explicitly
defines the parameters and corresponding members.
Clearing the way for adding more members to the Order object.
- added LSE reference rrules calendar (thanks to Edward Johns)
- added tests to verify LSE environment matches rrule calendar
- added a test to verify global environment behavior can be set.
- moved DailyReturn class to trading to eliminate circularity from
risk <-> trading.
- updated TradingEnvironment to be a context manager. This allows users
to run algorithms in individually isolated environments in one python
process. This is useful for managing multiple algorithms in a single
ipython notebook.
- added comments to explain behavior and useage of the global environment
Global state for the financial simulation environment is accessed through the
zipline.finance.trading module, which now contains a module variable:
environment.
Parameters are passed into an algorithm as a keyword argument, sim_params.
SimulationParameters creates a trading day index for the test period that
can be used to find trading days, calculate distance between trading days,
and other common operations. The sim params index is just selected from the
global state.
================
Details:
- adding delorean to the requirements.
- made index symbol a parameter for loading the benchmark data. changed
messagepack storage to be symbol specific.
- ported risk, performance, algorithm, transforms, batch transforms
and associated tests to use simulation parameters and global environment
- factory and sim factory use global state and sim params
- factory method parameter names now reflect the class expected
With this patch, on the close of markets we "fast forward" to midnight of the
next trading day and calculate the dividend payments. This patch assumes that
the dividend dates are all at midnight UTC.
- Removes New Year's on Saturday, in that case there is no New Year's observed.
- Adds Monday after a July 4th Sunday
- Adds Friday before a July 4th Saturday
- Adds Monday after a Christmas Sunday
- Adds Friday before a Christmas Saturday
