Potential bug in resampler

  • M

    Not sure about it yet, but seems like resampler doesn't work for daily timeframe (still investigating if it is sth my code is doing or backtrader bug). Not sure if this is the cause yet, but I think I found a bug in resamplefilter.py::_BaseResampler::init():
    Seems like self.componly can never be True:

     self.componly = (self.subdays and
                         data._timeframe == self.p.timeframe and
                         not (self.p.compression % data._compression)
                         )
...
self.componly = self.componly and not self.subdays

    Did some more investigation about it and found out that indeed it is a bug - resampler just don't work at all for timeframe == days. To fix:
    The code snippet I placed in previous message:

     self.componly = (self.subdays and
                         data._timeframe == self.p.timeframe and
                         not (self.p.compression % data._compression)
                         )
...
self.componly = self.componly and not self.subdays

    should be changed to (add 'not' before self.subdays and remove the last line):

    self.componly = (not self.subdays and
                         data._timeframe == self.p.timeframe and
                         not (self.p.compression % data._compression)
                         )

    Additionally in resamplefilter.py::Resampler::call() change this:

            if consumed:
            self.bar.bupdate(data)  # update new or existing bar
            data.backwards()  # remove used bar

        # if self.bar.isopen and (onedge or (docheckover and checkbarover))
        cond = self.bar.isopen()
        if cond:  # original is and, the 2nd term must also be true
            if not onedge:  # onedge true is sufficient
                if docheckover:
                    cond = self._checkbarover(data, fromcheck=fromcheck,
                                              forcedata=forcedata)

    to:

            if consumed:
            self.bar.bupdate(data)  # update new or existing bar

        # if self.bar.isopen and (onedge or (docheckover and checkbarover))
        cond = self.bar.isopen()
        if cond:  # original is and, the 2nd term must also be true
            if not onedge:  # onedge true is sufficient
                if docheckover:
                    cond = self._checkbarover(data, fromcheck=fromcheck,
                                              forcedata=forcedata)
        if consumed:
            data.backwards()  # remove used bar

    This is just a quick fix I came up with, it can probably be fixed in a much prettier way.

    Next bug related to resampling, I found it while I tried to resample with time_frame = TimeFrame.Minutes with data compression=60 and target compression = 60*24. Problem is located in bactrader.analyzer._get_subday_cmpkey().
    Lines:

            dtcmp = dt.replace(hour=ph, minute=pm, second=ps, microsecond=pus)
        dtcmp -= tadjust
        if extradays:
            dt += datetime.timedelta(days=extradays)
        dtkey = dtcmp

        return dtcmp, dtkey

    should be changed to:

            if extradays:
            dt += datetime.timedelta(days=extradays)
        dtcmp = dt.replace(hour=ph, minute=pm, second=ps, microsecond=pus)
        dtcmp -= tadjust
        dtkey = dtcmp

        return dtcmp, dtkey

    Basically, the extradays adjustment was done too late.
