Ticket #3621 (assigned defect)

Opened 4 months ago

Last modified 2 months ago

[with patch, needs review] sage.finance - add expand and refine finance.Stock

Reported by: cswiercz Assigned to: cswiercz (accepted)
Priority: major Milestone: sage-3.2.1
Component: finance Keywords: finance, historical, stock, Stock
Cc: jkantor

Description

There was an issue with Stock.historical() only returning stock information from Jan 1, 1990 onward and no earlier. The addition of an explicit enddate to the Google Finance query seems to fix this. Fix is demonstrated in the doctests of Stock.historical()

Uses the datetime.date python module.

add_load_file1.patch - Split up .historical into three parts. Added a .load_file() function that will load data from a specified file if the file formatted correctly. eg. 'date,open,high,low,close,volume\n...'

07/20/2008 08:00:46 PM changed by brettnak

.load_file() does not work for large files due to python's .read() size limitations. Next patch will read the file by line to get around this.

REFEREE REPORT:

Great work! Now be professionals and fix everything below :-)

  • The function _load_from_csv(self, R) in stock.py is missing a doctest
  • I like the Day --> OHCL change.
  • Member functions in the Sage library should never be upper case, so 
        def Open(self, *args, **kwds):

must become 

    def open(self, *args, **kwds):
  • The doctest for Open contains \code{self.google(). Since the docstring is a string that \c gets turned into a weird character. You have to do either \\code{self.google() or (better) just replace """ at the top by r""". Same for def Close, etc.
  • This doctest SUCKS: 
    +            sage: finance.Stock('goog').load_from_file('/Users/cswiercz/GOOG-minutely.txt')[:5]    # optional -- requires s
ource file
+            [

We actually *do* test all optional doctests sometimes, and do expect them to pass on a reasonably configured machine. I suggest the following workaround. Make a subdirectory of SAGE_ROOT/examples called "finance". Put your file in there. Do hg ci in there to add it to the examples repo. Post a patch using "hg export tip" in that repo. If you get stuck, let me know. Then in the doctest just put SAGE_ROOT + 'examples/finance/your_filename.txt'. And you won't have to make it optional, which is always a plus.

  • This code in your patch (in the function load_from_file) contains a bug: 
    +        try:
+            R = file_obj.read();
+        except IOError:
+            raise IOError, msg + "Bad path or file name"

You mean to write: 

+        try:
+            R = file_obj.read();
+        except IOError, msg :
+            raise IOError, msg + "Bad path or file name"

A doctest should illustrate this exception maybe, so you would have caught this bug.

  • 5 Doctests in stock.py fail:

I am talking with William about this, but it seems unclear to me who gave a review to what. For example: Chris posted sage-3621-part10.patch and also gave that patch a positive review. It seems like a minor patch, but we should follow procedure here.

To make the situation a bit clearer, Brett asked if I could review his patches. (part6.patch - part9.patch) I found a minor bug and added my own patch at the very end. (part10.patch) My patch was just a small change to a doctest, which I tested thoroughly. I realize just now that it was kinda silly to review this ticket myself since all of the code throughout these patches was done by both of us, equally. Anyway, I'm fine with setting it back to "needs review" and waiting for someone to take a look at it. It's your call. :)

  • summary changed from [with patch, positive review] sage.finance - add expand and refine finance.Stock to [with patch, needs work] sage.finance - add expand and refine finance.Stock.

Alas, several issues need to be resolved and some features need to be added:

  • Yahoo doesn't like explicit exchange declarations. (i.e. finance.Stock("NASDAQ:GOOG") returns zero.) Parse the input and store the exchange and symbol separately.
  • Yahoo should be implemented as a backup to Google Finance historical queries if Google Finance happens to return zero.
  • Fix some issues regarding explicit exchange declarations in general. (i.e. finance.Stock("HKG:0700").historical() returns zero.) Improve the way queries handle exchange / symbol relationships. For example, only default to "NASDAQ" if no exchange is given.
  • Rename Stock.google() back to Stock.historical()
  • Consolidate the ten+ patches above.

I'm taking care of this right now! :)
