Kline package overview

When loading data for the kline, it can come from two sources: candles or trades. In the config they are represented as common.CandleStr or common.TradeStr respectively.

Candle data represents the opening, closing, highest, lowest prices of a given timespan (interval) along with the volume (amount traded) during that same period. You can read more about candles here. This data is utilised throughout the GoCryptoTrader Backtester in order to make informed strategic decisions.

Trade data represents the raw trading data on an exchange. Every buy or sell action for the given currency. When trading data is used for the GoCryptoTrader Backtester, it is converted into candle data at the interval you specify. This allows for custom candle intervals not provided by an exchange's API and thus has a greater amount of flexibility in backtesting strategies.

Types

type DataFromKline

type DataFromKline struct {
	*data.Base
	Item        *gctkline.Item
	RangeHolder *gctkline.IntervalRangeHolder
}

DataFromKline is a struct which implements the data.Streamer interface It holds candle data for a specified range with helper functions

func NewDataFromKline

func NewDataFromKline() *DataFromKline

NewDataFromKline returns a new struct

func (*DataFromKline) AppendResults

func (d *DataFromKline) AppendResults(ki *gctkline.Item) error

AppendResults adds a candle item to the data stream and sorts it to ensure it is all in order

func (*DataFromKline) HasDataAtTime

func (d *DataFromKline) HasDataAtTime(t time.Time) (bool, error)

HasDataAtTime verifies checks the underlying range data To determine whether there is any candle data present at the time provided

func (*DataFromKline) Load

func (d *DataFromKline) Load() error

Load sets the candle data to the stream for processing

func (*DataFromKline) StreamClose

func (d *DataFromKline) StreamClose() ([]decimal.Decimal, error)

StreamClose returns all Close prices from the beginning until the current iteration

func (*DataFromKline) StreamHigh

func (d *DataFromKline) StreamHigh() ([]decimal.Decimal, error)

StreamHigh returns all High prices from the beginning until the current iteration

func (*DataFromKline) StreamLow

func (d *DataFromKline) StreamLow() ([]decimal.Decimal, error)

StreamLow returns all Low prices from the beginning until the current iteration

func (*DataFromKline) StreamOpen

func (d *DataFromKline) StreamOpen() ([]decimal.Decimal, error)

StreamOpen returns all Open prices from the beginning until the current iteration

func (*DataFromKline) StreamVol

func (d *DataFromKline) StreamVol() ([]decimal.Decimal, error)

StreamVol returns all Volume prices from the beginning until the current iteration
