Stock Analysis Engine

Build and tune investment algorithms for use with artificial intelligence (deep neural networks) with a distributed stack for running backtests using live pricing data on publicly traded companies with automated datafeeds from: IEX Real-Time Price, Tradier and FinViz (includes: pricing, options, news, dividends, daily, intraday, screeners, statistics, financials, earnings, and more).

Fetch the Latest Pricing Data

Supported fetch methods for getting pricing data:

• Command line using fetch command

• Docker-compose using ./compose/start.sh -c

• Kubernetes Fetch from IEX and Tradier job or Fetch from only Trader job

Fetch using the Command Line

Here is a video showing how to fetch the latest pricing data for a ticker using the command line:

1. Clone to /opt/sa

   git clone https://github.com/AlgoTraders/stock-analysis-engine.git /opt/sa
   cd /opt/sa

2. Create Docker Mounts and Start Redis and Minio

   This will pull Redis and Minio docker images.

   ./compose/start.sh -a

3. Fetch All Pricing Data

   1. Run through the Getting Started section

   2. This will pull pricing data from IEX (free for now) and Tradier (requires an account and developer token):

      fetch -t SPY

      Alternatively, you can also fetch from just Tradier:

      • Sign up for a free account

      • Set the TD_TOKEN environment variable to fetch Trading pricing data with:

        export TD_TOKEN=YOUR_TRADIER_TOKEN

      • Fetch with -g td:

        fetch -t SPY -g td
        # and fetch from just IEX with: fetch -t SPY -g iex

   Note

   Yahoo disabled the YQL finance API so fetching pricing data from yahoo is disabled by default

4. View the Compressed Pricing Data in Redis

   redis-cli keys "SPY_*"
   redis-cli get "<key like SPY_2019-01-08_minute>"

Backups

Pricing data is automatically compressed in redis and there is an example Kubernetes job for backing up all stored pricing data to AWS S3.

Running the Full Stack Locally for Backtesting and Live Trading Analysis

While not required for backtesting, running the full stack is required for running algorithms during a live trading session. Here is a video on how to deploy the full stack locally using docker compose and the commands from the video.

1. Start Workers, Backtester, Pricing Data Collection, Jupyter, Redis and Minio

   Now start the rest of the stack with the command below. This will pull the ~3.0 GB stock-analysis-engine docker image and start the workers, backtester, dataset collection and Jupyter image. It will start Redis and Minio if they are not running already.

   ./compose/start.sh

   Tip

   Mac OS X users just a note that there is a known docker compose issue with network_mode: “host” so you may have issues trying to connect to your services.

2. Check the Docker Containers

   docker ps -a

3. View for dataset collection logs

   logs-dataset-collection.sh

4. Wait for pricing engine logs to stop with ctrl+c

   logs-workers.sh

5. Verify Pricing Data is in Redis

   redis-cli keys "*"

6. Optional - Automating pricing data collection with the automation-dataset-collection.yml docker compose file:

   Note

   Depending on how fast you want to run intraday algorithms, you can use this docker compose job or the Kubernetes job or the Fetch from Only Tradier Kubernetes job to collect the most recent pricing information

   ./compose/start.sh -c

Run a Custom Minute-by-Minute Intraday Algorithm Backtest and Plot the Trading History

With pricing data in redis, you can start running backtests a few ways:

• Comparing 3 Deep Neural Networks Trained to Predict a Stocks Closing Price in a Jupyter Notebook

• Build, run and tune within a Jupyter Notebook and plot the balance vs the stock’s closing price while running

• Analyze and replay algorithm trading histories stored in s3 with this Jupyter Notebook

• Run with the command line backtest tool

• Advanced - building a standalone algorithm as a class for running trading analysis

Running an Algorithm with Live Intraday Pricing Data

Here is a video showing how to run it:

The backtest command line tool uses an algorithm config dictionary to build multiple Williams %R indicators into an algorithm with a 10,000.00 USD starting balance. Once configured, the backtest iterates through each trading dataset and evaluates if it should buy or sell based off the pricing data. After it finishes, the tool will display a chart showing the algorithm’s balance and the stock’s close price per minute using matplotlib and seaborn.

# this can take a few minutes to evaluate
# as more data is collected
# because each day has 390 rows to process
bt -t SPY -f /tmp/history.json

Run Backtests with the Algorithm Runner

Here is how to run a backtest with the latest pricing data:

import analysis_engine.algo_runner as algo_runner
ticker = 'SPY'
runner = algo_runner.AlgoRunner(
    ticker=ticker,
    history_loc=f's3://algohistory/history_{ticker}',
    algo_config='./cfg/default_algo.json')

# run the algorithm with the latest 200 minutes:
df = runner.run_latest()
print(df[['minute', 'close']].tail(5))

# start a full backtest with:
# runner.start()

Note

The algorithm’s trading history dataset provides many additional columns to review for tuning indicators and custom buy/sell rules. To reduce the time spent waiting on an algorithm to finish processing, you can save the entire trading history to disk with the -f <save_to_file> argument.

View the Minute Algorithm’s Trading History from a File

Once the trading history is saved to disk, you can open it back up and plot other columns within the dataset with:

# by default the plot shows
# balance vs close per minute
plot-history -f /tmp/history.json

Run a Custom Algorithm and Save the Trading History with just Today’s Pricing Data

Here’s how to run an algorithm during a live trading session. This approach assumes another process or cron is fetch-ing the pricing data using the engine so the algorithm(s) have access to the latest pricing data:

bt -t SPY -f /tmp/SPY-history-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").json -j $(date +"%Y-%m-%d")

Note

Using -j <DATE> will make the algorithm jump-to-this-date before starting any trading. This is helpful for debugging indicators, algorithms, datasets issues, and buy/sell rules as well.

Run a Backtest using an External Algorithm Module and Config File

Run an algorithm backtest with a standalone algorithm class contained in a single python module file that can even be outside the repository using a config file on disk:

ticker=SPY
config=<CUSTOM_ALGO_CONFIG_DIR>/minute_algo.json
algo_mod=<CUSTOM_ALGO_MODULE_DIR>/minute_algo.py
bt -t ${ticker} -c ${algo_config} -g ${algo_mod}

Or the config can use "algo_path": "<PATH_TO_FILE>" to set the path to an external algorithm module file.

bt -t ${ticker} -c ${algo_config}

Note

Using a standalone algorithm class must derive from the analysis_engine.algo.BaseAlgo class

Building Your Own Trading Algorithms

Beyond running backtests, the included engine supports running many algorithms and fetching data for both live trading or backtesting all at the same time. As you start to use this approach, you will be generating lots of algorithm pricing datasets, history datasets and coming soon performance datasets for AI training. Because algorithm’s utilize the same dataset structure, you can share ready-to-go datasets with a team and publish them to S3 for kicking off backtests using lambda functions or just archival for disaster recovery.

Note

Backtests can use ready-to-go datasets out of S3, redis or a file

The next section looks at how to build an algorithm-ready datasets from cached pricing data in redis.

Run a Local Backtest and Publish Algorithm Trading History to S3

ae -t SPY -p s3://algohistory/algo_training_SPY.json

Run distributed across the engine workers with -w

ae -w -t SPY -p s3://algohistory/algo_training_SPY.json

Run a Local Backtest using an Algorithm Config and Extract an Algorithm-Ready Dataset

Use this command to start a local backtest with the included algorithm config. This backtest will also generate a local algorithm-ready dataset saved to a file once it finishes.

1. Define common values

   ticker=SPY
   algo_config=tests/algo_configs/test_5_days_ahead.json
   extract_loc=file:/tmp/algoready-SPY-latest.json
   history_loc=file:/tmp/history-SPY-latest.json
   load_loc=${extract_loc}

Run Algo with Extraction and History Publishing

run-algo-history-to-file.sh -t ${ticker} -c ${algo_config} -e ${extract_loc} -p ${history_loc}

Run a Local Backtest using an Algorithm Config and an Algorithm-Ready Dataset

After generating the local algorithm-ready dataset (which can take some time), use this command to run another backtest using the file on disk:

dev_history_loc=file:/tmp/dev-history-${ticker}-latest.json
run-algo-history-to-file.sh -t ${ticker} -c ${algo_config} -l ${load_loc} -p ${dev_history_loc}

View Buy and Sell Transactions

run-algo-history-to-file.sh -t ${ticker} -c ${algo_config} -l ${load_loc} -p ${dev_history_loc} | grep "TRADE"

Plot Trading History Tools

Plot Timeseries Trading History with High + Low + Open + Close

sa -t SPY -H ${dev_history_loc}

Run and Publish Trading Performance Report for a Custom Algorithm

This will run a backtest over the past 60 days in order and run the standalone algorithm as a class example. Once done it will publish the trading performance report to a file or minio (s3).

Write the Trading Performance Report to a Local File

run-algo-report-to-file.sh -t SPY -b 60 -a /opt/sa/analysis_engine/mocks/example_algo_minute.py
# run-algo-report-to-file.sh -t <TICKER> -b <NUM_DAYS_BACK> -a <CUSTOM_ALGO_MODULE>
# run on specific date ranges with:
# -s <start date YYYY-MM-DD> -n <end date YYYY-MM-DD>

Write the Trading Performance Report to Minio (s3)

run-algo-report-to-s3.sh -t SPY -b 60 -a /opt/sa/analysis_engine/mocks/example_algo_minute.py

Run and Publish Trading History for a Custom Algorithm

This will run a full backtest across the past 60 days in order and run the example algorithm. Once done it will publish the trading history to a file or minio (s3).

Write the Trading History to a Local File

run-algo-history-to-file.sh -t SPY -b 60 -a /opt/sa/analysis_engine/mocks/example_algo_minute.py

Write the Trading History to Minio (s3)

run-algo-history-to-s3.sh -t SPY -b 60 -a /opt/sa/analysis_engine/mocks/example_algo_minute.py

Developing on AWS

If you are comfortable with AWS S3 usage charges, then you can run just with a redis server to develop and tune algorithms. This works for teams and for archiving datasets for disaster recovery.

Environment Variables

Export these based off your AWS IAM credentials and S3 endpoint.

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="ACCESS"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="SECRET"
export S3_ADDRESS=s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

Extract and Publish to AWS S3

./tools/backup-datasets-on-s3.sh -t TICKER -q YOUR_BUCKET -k ${S3_ADDRESS} -r localhost:6379

Publish to Custom AWS S3 Bucket and Key

extract_loc=s3://YOUR_BUCKET/TICKER-latest.json
./tools/backup-datasets-on-s3.sh -t TICKER -e ${extract_loc} -r localhost:6379

Backtest a Custom Algorithm with a Dataset on AWS S3

backtest_loc=s3://YOUR_BUCKET/TICKER-latest.json
custom_algo_module=/opt/sa/analysis_engine/mocks/example_algo_minute.py
sa -t TICKER -a ${S3_ADDRESS} -r localhost:6379 -b ${backtest_loc} -g ${custom_algo_module}

Fetching New Pricing Tradier Every Minute with Kubernetes

If you want to fetch and append new option pricing data from Tradier, you can use the included kubernetes job with a cron to pull new data every minute:

kubectl -f apply /opt/sa/k8/datasets/pull_tradier_per_minute.yml

Run a Distributed 60-day Backtest on SPY and Publish the Trading Report, Trading History and Algorithm-Ready Dataset to S3

Publish backtests and live trading algorithms to the engine’s workers for running many algorithms at the same time. Once done, the algorithm will publish results to s3, redis or a local file. By default, the included example below publishes all datasets into minio (s3) where they can be downloaded for offline backtests or restored back into redis.

Note

Running distributed algorithmic workloads requires redis, minio, and the engine running

num_days_back=60
./tools/run-algo-with-publishing.sh -t SPY -b ${num_days_back} -w

Run a Local 60-day Backtest on SPY and Publish Trading Report, Trading History and Algorithm-Ready Dataset to S3

num_days_back=60
./tools/run-algo-with-publishing.sh -t SPY -b ${num_days_back}

Or manually with:

ticker=SPY
num_days_back=60
use_date=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
ds_id=$(uuidgen | sed -e 's/-//g')
ticker_dataset="${ticker}-${use_date}_${ds_id}.json"
echo "creating ${ticker} dataset: ${ticker_dataset}"
extract_loc="s3://algoready/${ticker_dataset}"
history_loc="s3://algohistory/${ticker_dataset}"
report_loc="s3://algoreport/${ticker_dataset}"
backtest_loc="s3://algoready/${ticker_dataset}"  # same as the extract_loc
processed_loc="s3://algoprocessed/${ticker_dataset}"  # archive it when done
start_date=$(date --date="${num_days_back} day ago" +"%Y-%m-%d")
echo ""
echo "extracting algorithm-ready dataset: ${extract_loc}"
echo "sa -t SPY -e ${extract_loc} -s ${start_date} -n ${use_date}"
sa -t SPY -e ${extract_loc} -s ${start_date} -n ${use_date}
echo ""
echo "running algo with: ${backtest_loc}"
echo "sa -t SPY -p ${history_loc} -o ${report_loc} -b ${backtest_loc} -e ${processed_loc} -s ${start_date} -n ${use_date}"
sa -t SPY -p ${history_loc} -o ${report_loc} -b ${backtest_loc} -e ${processed_loc} -s ${start_date} -n ${use_date}

Jupyter on Kubernetes

This command runs Jupyter on an AntiNex Kubernetes cluster

./k8/jupyter/run.sh ceph dev

Kubernetes - Analyze and Tune Algorithms from a Trading History

With the Analysis Engine’s Jupyter instance deployed you can tune algorithms from a trading history using this notebook:

https://aejupyter.example.com/notebooks/Analyze%20Compressed%20Algorithm%20Trading%20Histories%20Stored%20in%20S3.ipynb

Kubernetes Job - Export SPY Datasets and Publish to Minio

Manually run with an ssh-eng alias:

function ssheng() {
    pod_name=$(kubectl get po | grep ae-engine | grep Running |tail -1 | awk '{print $1}')
    echo "logging into ${pod_name}"
    kubectl exec -it ${pod_name} bash
}
ssheng
# once inside the container on kubernetes
source /opt/venv/bin/activate
sa -a minio-service:9000 -r redis-master:6379 -e s3://backups/SPY-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d") -t SPY

View Algorithm-Ready Datasets

With the AWS cli configured you can view available algorithm-ready datasets in your minio (s3) bucket with the command:

aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:9000 s3 ls s3://algoready

View Trading History Datasets

With the AWS cli configured you can view available trading history datasets in your minio (s3) bucket with the command:

aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:9000 s3 ls s3://algohistory

View Trading History Datasets

With the AWS cli configured you can view available trading performance report datasets in your minio (s3) bucket with the command:

aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:9000 s3 ls s3://algoreport

Advanced - Running Algorithm Backtests Offline

With extracted Algorithm-Ready datasets in minio (s3), redis or a file you can develop and tune your own algorithms offline without having redis, minio, the analysis engine, or jupyter running locally.

Run a Offline Custom Algorithm Backtest with an Algorithm-Ready File

# extract with:
sa -t SPY -e file:/tmp/SPY-latest.json
sa -t SPY -b file:/tmp/SPY-latest.json -g /opt/sa/analysis_engine/mocks/example_algo_minute.py

Run the Intraday Minute-by-Minute Algorithm and Publish the Algorithm-Ready Dataset to S3

Run the included standalone algorithm with the latest pricing datasets use:

sa -t SPY -g /opt/sa/analysis_engine/mocks/example_algo_minute.py -e s3://algoready/SPY-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").json

And to debug an algorithm’s historical trading performance add the -d debug flag:

sa -d -t SPY -g /opt/sa/analysis_engine/mocks/example_algo_minute.py -e s3://algoready/SPY-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").json

Extract Algorithm-Ready Datasets

With pricing data cached in redis, you can extract algorithm-ready datasets and save them to a local file for offline historical backtesting analysis. This also serves as a local backup where all cached data for a single ticker is in a single local file.

Extract an Algorithm-Ready Dataset from Redis and Save it to a File

sa -t SPY -e ~/SPY-latest.json

Create a Daily Backup

sa -t SPY -e ~/SPY-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").json

Validate the Daily Backup by Examining the Dataset File

sa -t SPY -l ~/SPY-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").json

Validate the Daily Backup by Examining the Dataset File

sa -t SPY -l ~/SPY-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").json

Restore Backup to Redis

Use this command to cache missing pricing datasets so algorithms have the correct data ready-to-go before making buy and sell predictions.

Note

By default, this command will not overwrite existing datasets in redis. It was built as a tool for merging redis pricing datasets after a VM restarted and pricing data was missing from the past few days (gaps in pricing data is bad for algorithms).

sa -t SPY -L ~/SPY-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").json

Fetch

With redis and minio running (./compose/start.sh), you can fetch, cache, archive and return all of the newest datasets for tickers:

from analysis_engine.fetch import fetch
d = fetch(ticker='SPY')
for k in d['SPY']:
    print('dataset key: {}\nvalue {}\n'.format(k, d['SPY'][k]))

Extract

Once collected and cached, you can extract datasets:

from analysis_engine.extract import extract
d = extract(ticker='SPY')
for k in d['SPY']:
    print('dataset key: {}\nvalue {}\n'.format(k, d['SPY'][k]))

Please refer to the Stock Analysis Intro Extracting Datasets Jupyter Notebook for the latest usage examples.

Build

Getting Started

This section outlines how to get the Stock Analysis stack running locally with:

• Redis

• Minio (S3)

• Stock Analysis engine

• Jupyter

For background, the stack provides a data pipeline that automatically archives pricing data in minio (s3) and caches pricing data in redis. Once cached or archived, custom algorithms can use the pricing information to determine buy or sell conditions and track internal trading performance across historical backtests.

From a technical perspective, the engine uses Celery workers to process heavyweight, asynchronous tasks and scales horizontally with support for many transports and backends depending on where you need to run it. The stack deploys with Kubernetes or docker compose and supports publishing trading alerts to Slack.

With the stack already running, please refer to the Intro Stock Analysis using Jupyter Notebook for more getting started examples.

Setting up Your Tradier Account with Docker Compose

Please set your Tradier account token in the docker environment files before starting the stack:

grep -r SETYOURTRADIERTOKENHERE compose/*
compose/envs/backtester.env:TD_TOKEN=SETYOURTRADIERTOKENHERE
compose/envs/workers.env:TD_TOKEN=SETYOURTRADIERTOKENHER

Please export the variable for developing locally:

export TD_TOKEN=<TRADIER_ACCOUNT_TOKEN>

Note

Please restart the stack with ./compose/stop.sh then ./compose/start.sh after setting the Tradier token environment variable

1. Start Redis and Minio

   Note

   The Redis and Minio container are set up to save data to /data so files can survive a restart/reboot. On Mac OS X, please make sure to add /data (and /data/sa/notebooks for Jupyter notebooks) on the Docker Preferences -> File Sharing tab and let the docker daemon restart before trying to start the containers. If not, you will likely see errors like:

       ERROR: for minio  Cannot start service minio:
       b'Mounts denied: \r\nThe path /data/minio/data\r\nis not shared from OS X
   
   Here is the command to manully creaate the shared volume directories:
   
   ::
   
       sudo mkdir -p -m 777 /data/redis/data /data/minio/data /data/sa/notebooks/dev /data/registry/auth /data/registry/data

   ./compose/start.sh

2. Verify Redis and Minio are Running

   docker ps | grep -E "redis|minio"

Fetch New Stock Datasets

Run the ticker analysis using the ./analysis_engine/scripts/fetch_new_stock_datasets.py:

Collect all datasets for a Ticker or Symbol

Collect all datasets for the ticker SPY:

fetch -t SPY

Note

This requires the following services are listening on:

• redis localhost:6379

• minio localhost:9000

View the Engine Worker Logs

docker logs ae-workers

Running Inside Docker Containers

If you are using an engine that is running inside a docker container, then localhost is probably not the correct network hostname for finding redis and minio.

Please set these values as needed to publish and archive the dataset artifacts if you are using the integration or notebook integration docker compose files for deploying the analysis engine stack:

fetch -t SPY -a 0.0.0.0:9000 -r 0.0.0.0:6379

Warning

It is not recommended sharing the same Redis server with multiple engine workers from inside docker containers and outside docker. This is because the REDIS_ADDRESS and S3_ADDRESS can only be one string value at the moment. So if a job is picked up by the wrong engine (which cannot connect to the correct Redis and Minio), then it can lead to data not being cached or archived correctly and show up as connectivity failures.

Detailed Usage Example

The fetch_new_stock_datasets.py script supports many parameters. Here is how to set it up if you have custom redis and minio deployments like on kubernetes as minio-service:9000 and redis-master:6379:

• S3 authentication (-k and -s)

• S3 endpoint (-a)

• Redis endoint (-r)

• Custom S3 Key and Redis Key Name (-n)

fetch -t SPY -g all -u pricing -k trexaccesskey -s trex123321 -a localhost:9000 -r localhost:6379 -m 0 -n SPY_demo -P 1 -N 1 -O 1 -U 1 -R 1

Run FinViz Screener-driven Analysis

This is a work in progress, but the screener-driven workflow is:

1. Convert FinViz screeners into a list of tickers and a pandas.DataFrames from each ticker’s html row

2. Build unique list of tickers

3. Pull datasets for each ticker

4. Run sale-side processing - coming soon

5. Run buy-side processing - coming soon

6. Issue alerts to slack - coming soon

Here is how to run an analysis on all unique tickers found in two FinViz screener urls:

https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&f=cap_midunder,exch_nyse,fa_div_o6,idx_sp500&ft=4 and https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&f=cap_midunder,exch_nyse,fa_div_o8,idx_sp500&ft=4

fetch -A scn -L 'https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&f=cap_midunder,exch_nyse,fa_div_o6,idx_sp500&ft=4|https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&f=cap_midunder,exch_nyse,fa_div_o8,idx_sp500&ft=4'

Jupyter

You can run the Jupyter notebooks by starting the notebook-integration.yml stack with the command:

Warning

On Mac OS X, Jupyter does not work with the Analysis Engine at the moment. PR’s are welcomed, but we have not figured out how to share the notebooks and access redis and minio with the known docker compose issue with network_host on Mac OS X

For Linux users, the Jupyter container hosts the Stock Analysis Intro notebook at the url (default login password is admin):

http://localhost:8888/notebooks/Stock-Analysis-Intro.ipynb

Jupyter Presentations with RISE

The docker container comes with RISE installed for running notebook presentations from a browser. Here’s the button on the notebook for starting the web presentation:

Distributed Automation with Docker

Note

Automation requires the integration stack running (redis + minio + engine) and docker-compose.

Dataset Collection

Start automated dataset collection with docker compose:

./compose/start.sh -c

Datasets in Redis

After running the dataset collection container, the datasets should be auto-cached in Minio (http://localhost:9000/minio/pricing/) and Redis:

./tools/redis-cli.sh
127.0.0.1:6379> keys *

Publishing to Slack

Please refer to the Publish Stock Alerts to Slack Jupyter Notebook for the latest usage examples.

Publish FinViz Screener Tickers to Slack

Here is sample code for trying out the Slack integration.

import analysis_engine.finviz.fetch_api as fv
from analysis_engine.send_to_slack import post_df
# simple NYSE Dow Jones Index Financials with a P/E above 5 screener url
url = 'https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&f=exch_nyse,fa_pe_o5,idx_dji,sec_financial&ft=4'
res = fv.fetch_tickers_from_screener(url=url)
df = res['rec']['data']

# please make sure the SLACK_WEBHOOK environment variable is set correctly:
post_df(
    df=df[SLACK_FINVIZ_COLUMNS],
    columns=SLACK_FINVIZ_COLUMNS)

Running on Kubernetes

Kubernetes Deployments - Engine

Deploy the engine with:

kubectl apply -f ./k8/engine/deployment.yml

Kubernetes Job - Dataset Collection

Start the dataset collection job with:

kubectl apply -f ./k8/datasets/job.yml

Kubernetes Deployments - Jupyter

Deploy Jupyter to a Kubernetes cluster with:

./k8/jupyter/run.sh

Kubernetes with a Private Docker Registry

You can deploy a private docker registry that can be used to pull images from outside a kubernetes cluster with the following steps:

1. Deploy Docker Registry

   ./compose/start.sh -r

2. Configure Kubernetes hosts and other docker daemons for insecure registries

   cat /etc/docker/daemon.json
   {
       "insecure-registries": [
           "<public ip address/fqdn for host running the registry container>:5000"
       ]
   }

3. Restart all Docker daemons

   sudo systemctl restart docker

4. Login to Docker Registry from all Kubernetes hosts and other daemons that need access to the registry

   Note

   Change the default registry password by either changing the ./compose/start.sh file that uses trex and 123321 as the credentials or you can edit the volume mounted file /data/registry/auth/htpasswd. Here is how to find the registry’s default login set up:

   grep docker compose/start.sh  | grep htpass

   docker login <public ip address/fqdn for host running the registry container>:5000

5. Setup Kubernetes Secrets for All Credentials

   Set each of the fields according to your own buckets, docker registry and Tradier account token:

   cat /opt/sa/k8/secrets/secrets.yml | grep SETYOUR
   aws_access_key_id: SETYOURENCODEDAWSACCESSKEYID
   aws_secret_access_key: SETYOURENCODEDAWSSECRETACCESSKEY
   .dockerconfigjson: SETYOURDOCKERCREDS
   td_token: SETYOURTDTOKEN

6. Deploy Kubernetes Secrets

   kubectl apply -f /opt/sa/k8/secrets/secrets.yml

7. Confirm Kubernetes Secrets are Deployed

   kubectl get secrets ae.docker.creds
   NAME              TYPE                             DATA   AGE
   ae.docker.creds   kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson   1      4d1h

   kubectl get secrets | grep "ae\."
   ae.docker.creds         kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson        1      4d1h
   ae.k8.aws.s3            Opaque                                3      4d1h
   ae.k8.minio.s3          Opaque                                3      4d1h
   ae.k8.tradier           Opaque                                4      4d1h

8. Configure Kubernetes Deployments for using an External Private Docker Registry

   Add these lines to a Kubernetes deployment yaml file based off your set up:

   imagePullSecrets:
   - name: ae.docker.creds
   containers:
   - image: <public ip address/fqdn for host running the registry container>:5000/my-own-stock-ae:latest
     imagePullPolicy: Always

Tip

After spending a sad amount of time debugging, please make sure to delete pods before applying new ones that are pulling docker images from an external registry. After running the kubectl delete pod <name>, you can apply/create the pod to get the latest image running.

Testing

To show debug, trace logging please export SHARED_LOG_CFG to a debug logger json file. To turn on debugging for this library, you can export this variable to the repo’s included file with the command:

export SHARED_LOG_CFG=/opt/sa/analysis_engine/log/debug-logging.json

Note

There is a known pandas issue that logs a warning about _timelex, and it will show as a warning until it is fixed in pandas. Please ignore this warning for now.

DeprecationWarning: _timelex is a private class and may break without warning, it will be moved and or renamed in future versions.

Debugging

Test Algos

The fastest way to run algos is to specify a 1-day range:

sa -t SPY -s $(date +"%Y-%m-%d) -n $(date +"%Y-%m-%d")

Test Tasks

Most of the scripts support running without Celery workers. To run without workers in a synchronous mode use the command:

export CELERY_DISABLED=1

ticker=SPY
publish_from_s3_to_redis.py -t ${ticker} -u integration-tests -k trexaccesskey -s trex123321 -a localhost:9000 -r localhost:6379 -m 0 -n integration-test-v1

Linting and Other Tools

1. Linting

   flake8 .
   pycodestyle .

2. Sphinx Docs

   cd docs
   make html

3. Docker Admin - Pull Latest

   docker pull jayjohnson/stock-analysis-jupyter && docker pull jayjohnson/stock-analysis-engine

4. Back up Docker Redis Database

   /opt/sa/tools/backup-redis.sh

   View local redis backups with:

   ls -hlrt /opt/sa/tests/datasets/redis/redis-0-backup-*.rdb

5. Export the Kubernetes Redis Cluster’s Database to the Local Redis Container

   1. stop the redis docker container:

      ./compose/stop.sh

   2. Archive the previous redis database

      cp /data/redis/data/dump.rdb /data/redis/data/archive.rdb

   3. Save the Redis database in the Cluster

      kubectl exec -it redis-master-0 redis-cli save

   4. Export the saved redis database file inside the pod to the default docker redis container’s local file

      kubectl cp redis-master-0:/bitnami/redis/data/dump.rdb /data/redis/data/dump.rdb

   5. Restart the stack

      Note

      Redis takes a few seconds to load all the data into memory so this can take a few seconds

      ./compose/start.sh

Deploy Fork Feature Branch to Running Containers

When developing features that impact multiple containers, you can deploy your own feature branch without redownloading or manually building docker images. With the containers running., you can deploy your own fork’s branch as a new image (which are automatically saved as new docker container images).

Deploy a public or private fork into running containers

./tools/update-stack.sh <git fork https uri> <optional - branch name (master by default)> <optional - fork repo name>

Example:

./tools/update-stack.sh https://github.com/jay-johnson/stock-analysis-engine.git timeseries-charts jay

Restore the containers back to the Master

Restore the container builds back to the master branch from https://github.com/AlgoTraders/stock-analysis-engine with:

./tools/update-stack.sh https://github.com/AlgoTraders/stock-analysis-engine.git master upstream

Deploy Fork Alias

Here’s a bashrc alias for quickly building containers from a fork’s feature branch:

alias bd='pushd /opt/sa >> /dev/null && source /opt/venv/bin/activate && /opt/sa/tools/update-stack.sh https://github.com/jay-johnson/stock-analysis-engine.git timeseries-charts jay && popd >> /dev/null'

Debug Fetching IEX Data

fetch -t ${ticker} -g iex -n ${ticker}_${use_date} -e ${exp_date} -Z

Failed Fetching Tradier Data

Please export a valid TD_TOKEN in your compose/envs/*.env docker compose files if you see the following errors trying to pull pricing data from Tradier:

FAQ

Can I live trade with my algorithms?

Not yet. Please reach out for help on how to do this or if you have a platform you like.

Can I publish algorithm trade notifications?

Right now algorithms only support publishing to a private Slack channel for sharing with a group when an algorithm finds a buy/sell trade to execute. Reach out if you have a custom chat client app or service you think should be supported.
