A better Trader

CI

MASTER SCRIPT: atci

We will have a live site, a constantly running CI site, and multiple dev environments.

RUN LIVE at bitpost.com:

m@bitpost rs at
m@bitpost # if that doesn't work, start a session: screen -S at 
m@bitpost cd ~/development/thedigitalage/AbetterTrader/server-prod
m@bitpost atlive
 ========================================================
    *** LIVE MODE ***
 ========================================================
CTRL-A CTRL-D

RUN CI at bitpost.com:

# Keep this running to ensure that changes are dynamically built as they are committed
# It should run at a predictable publicly available url that can be checked regularly
# It runs in TEST but should run in a test mode that has an account assigned to it so it is very much like LIVE
# It runs release build in test mode
CTRL-A CTRL-D

RUN DEV anywhere but bitpost:

# Dev has complete control; most common tasks:
#   Code fast with a local CI loop - as soon as a file is changed, CI should restart server in test mode, displaying server log and refreshing server page
#       kill server, build, run, refresh browser
#   Turn off CI loop to debug via IDE
#   Stop prod, pull down production database, run LIVE mode in debugger to diagnose production problems

ANALYZE PSEUDO (REFACTOR THREE)

Single aggressiveness slider value selected:

• analysis page requests analysis via AJAX: user selects aggressiveness
• APIGetRunAnalysis::handle_call()
  • p_user_->findBrokerAccount(account_id);
  • ba.getSPAS(run_id,&spit,&asit)
  • g_p_local->readRunHistory() (does rh QAB pB_ allocations)
  • atc_.thread_analyzeHistory(aggressiveness, rh, *papsAnalysis)
    • generateAPSFromAggressiveness(aggressiveness, apsAnalysis)
    • create MemoryModel, AppUser, BrokerAccount
    • pba->analyze(rh)
  • save papsAnalysis
  • atc_.thread_buildRunJSON(rh)
  • deallocate(rh)

Auto-analysis selected (aggressiveness=0)

carefully select (0..n) APSs to test based on a range of aggressive levels
then do a small monte carlo around the best result
only apply to one stock at a time (unlike before where we ran all - revisit this)

TRADE PSEUDO

load from SQL tables into Major Objects (std::unordered_sets of PersistentIDObjects)

API PSEUDO

   APIGetRunLive::handle_call()
       g_p_local->getRunLiveJSON()
           readRunQAB(s_str_db_name...)
           (SAME as readRunLive!!)

   APIGetRunHistory::handle_call()
       g_p_local->getRunHistoryJSON()
           readRunHistory
               readRunQAB

DEBUG LIVE

NOTE that you WILL lose stock quote data during the debugging time, until we set up a second PROD environment.

• WRITE INITIAL DEBUG CODE in any DEV environment
• UPDATE DEBUGGER to run with [live] parameter instead of debug ones
• COPY DATABASE directly from PROD environment to DEV environment: atimport prod
• STOP PROD environment at_server
• DEBUG. quickly.  ;-)
• PUSH any code fix (without debug code) back to PROD env
• RESTART PROD and see if the fix worked
• REVERT DEV environment: clean any debug code, redo an atimport and reset the debugger parameters

Qt Creator settings

• Make sure you have already run [atbuild] and [atbuild debug].
• Open CMakeLists.txt as a Qt Creator project.
• It will force you to do CMake - pick cmake-release folder and let it go.
• Rename the build config to debug.
• Clone it to release and change folder to release.
• Delete make step and replace it with custom build:

./build.sh
(no args)
%{buildDir}

• Create run setups:

you have to use hardcoded path to BASE working dir (or leave it blank maybe?): 

   /home/m/development/thedigitalage/AbetterTrader/server

[x] run in terminal
I recommend using TEST args for both debug and release: localhost 8000 test reanalyze (matches attest)
LIVE args may occasionally be needed for use with [atimport prod]: localhost 8080 live (matches atlive)

STATIC HTML SHARED HEADER AND FOOTER SECTIONS

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    THREE PARTS THAT MUST BE IN EVERY HTML FILE:
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
      1) all code above <container>, including these replaceables:
          a) logout:      <button type='button' id='logout' class='btn btn-margined btn-xs btn-primary pull-right'>Log out</button>
          b) breadcrumbs: <!--bread--><li><a href="/1">1</a></li><li class="active">2</li><!--crumbs-->
      2) logout button handler
        $( document ).ready(function() {
      3) footer and [Bootstrap core Javascript]
      
    what a maintenance nightmare - but it seems best to do all 10-12 files manually
