Types

type Cache

type Cache struct {
	Candles []Candle
	BinSize uint64
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Cache is a sized cache of candles. Cache provides methods for adding to the cache and reading cache data out. Candles is a typical slice until it reaches capacity, when it becomes a "circular array" to avoid re-allocations.

func NewCache

func NewCache(cap int, binSize uint64) *Cache

NewCache is a constructor for a Cache.

func (*Cache) Add

func (c *Cache) Add(candle *Candle)

Add adds a new candle TO THE END of the Cache. The caller is responsible to ensure that candles added with Add are always newer than the last candle added.

func (*Cache) Delta

func (c *Cache) Delta(since time.Time) (changePct float64, vol uint64)

Delta calculates the the change in rate, as a percentage, and total volume over the specified period going backwards from now. Because the first candle does not necessarily align with the cutoff, the rate and volume contribution from that candle is linearly interpreted between the endpoints. The caller is responsible for making sure that dur >> binSize, otherwise the results will be of little value.

func (*Cache) Last

func (c *Cache) Last() *Candle

last gets the most recent candle in the cache.

func (*Cache) Reset

func (c *Cache) Reset()

func (*Cache) WireCandles

func (c *Cache) WireCandles(count int) *msgjson.WireCandles

WireCandles encodes up to 'count' most recent candles as *msgjson.WireCandles. If the Cache contains fewer than 'count', only those available will be returned, with no indication of error.

type Candle

type Candle = msgjson.Candle

Candle is a report about the trading activity of a market over some specified period of time. Candles are managed with a Cache, which takes into account bin sizes and handles candle addition.
