Trade Aggregation

A high performance, modular and flexible trade aggregation crate, producing Candle data, suitable for low-latency applications and incremental updates. It allows the user to choose the rule dictating how a new candle is created through the AggregationRule trait, e.g: Time, Volume based or some other information driven rule. It also allows the user to choose which type of candle will be created from the aggregation process through the ModularCandle trait. Combined with the Candle macro, it enables the user to flexibly create any type of Candle as long as each component implements the CandleComponent trait. The aggregation process is also generic over the type of input trade data as long as it implements the TakerTrade trait, allowing for greater flexibility for downstream projects.

See MathisWellmann/go_trade_aggregation for a go implementation with less features and performance.

Here is a sample trade series of Bitmex_XBTUSD aggregated into 15 minute candles: time_candles

Features:

AggregationRule:

The pre-existing rules in this crate include:

'AggregationRule'Description
TimeRuleCreate candles every n seconds
AlignedTimeRuleSame as TimeRule but candles are aligned to the start of a period
VolumeRuleCreate candles every n units traded
TickRuleCreate candles every n ticks
RelativePriceRuleCreate candles with every n basis points price movement (Renko)

If these don't satisfy your desires, just create your own by implementing the AggregationRule trait, and you can plug and play it into the GenericAggregator.

CandleComponent:

These pre-existing 'CandleComponents' exist out of the box:

'CandleComponent'Description
OpenPrice at the beginning of a candle
HighMaximum price during the candle
LowMinimum price during the candle
ClosePrice at the end of a candle
VolumeThe cumulative trading volume
NumTradesThe number of trades during the candle
AveragePriceThe equally weighted average price
WeightedPriceThe volume weighted price
StdDevPricesKeeps track of the standard deviation of prices
StdDevSizesKeeps track of the standard deviation of sizes
TimeVelocityEssentially how fast the candle was created time wise
EntropyBinary Shannon entropy using the trade side as inputs
TradesJust returns the observed trades during that candle

And again, if these don't satisfy your needs, just bring your own by implementing the CandleComponent trait and you can plug them into your own candle struct.

How to use:

To use this crate in your project, add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
trade_aggregation = "12"

Lets aggregate all trades into time based 1 minute candles, consisting of open, high, low and close information. Notice how easy it is to specify the 'AggregationRule' and 'ModularCandle' being used in the process. One can easily plug in their own implementation of those trait for full customization. This examples uses an online style approach to update with each tick:

use trade_aggregation::{
    candle_components::{Close, High, Low, Open},
    *,
};

#[derive(Debug, Default, Clone, Candle)]
struct MyCandle {
    open: Open,
    high: High,
    low: Low,
    close: Close,
}

fn main() {
    let trades = load_trades_from_csv("data/Bitmex_XBTUSD_1M.csv")
        .expect("Could not load trades from file!");

    // specify the aggregation rule to be time based and the resolution each trade timestamp has
    let time_rule = TimeRule::new(M1, TimestampResolution::Millisecond);
    // Notice how the aggregator is generic over the output candle type, 
    // the aggregation rule as well as the input trade data
    let mut aggregator = GenericAggregator::<MyCandle, TimeRule, Trade>::new(time_rule, false);

    for t in &trades {
        if let Some(candle) = aggregator.update(t) {
            println!(
                "candle created with open: {}, high: {}, low: {}, close: {}",
                candle.open(),
                candle.high(),
                candle.low(),
                candle.close()
            );
        }
    }
}

Notice how the code is calling the 'open()', 'high()', 'low()' and 'close()' methods on the 'MyCandle' struct. These are getters automatically generated by the Candle macro, that have the same name as the field. In this case the 'Candle' derive macro for 'MyCandle' expands into this:

use trade_aggregation::{
    candle_components::{Close, High, Low, Open},
    *,
};

#[derive(Debug, Default, Clone)]
struct MyCandle {
    open: Open,
    high: High,
    low: Low,
    close: Close,
}

impl MyCandle {
    fn open(&self) -> f64 {
        self.open.value()
    }
    fn high(&self) -> f64 {
        self.high.value()
    }
    fn low(&self) -> f64 {
        self.low.value()
    }
    fn close(&self) -> f64 {
        self.close.value()
    }
}

impl ModularCandle<Trade> for MyCandle {
    fn update(&mut self, trade: &Trade) {
        self.open.update(trade);
        self.high.update(trade);
        self.low.update(trade);
        self.close.update(trade);
    }
    fn reset(&mut self) {
        self.open.reset();
        self.high.reset();
        self.low.reset();
        self.close.reset();
    }
}

cargo run --release --example aggregate_all_ohlc
cargo run --release --example streaming_aggregate_ohlc

Performance:

To run the benchmarks, written using criterion, run:

cargo bench

Here are some results running on a 12th gen Intel Core i7-12800H, aggregating 1 million trades into 1 minute candles:

CandleTime
Open1 ms
OHLC2.5 ms
All8 ms

The more 'CandleComponent's you use, the longer it takes obviously.

Features

The serde feature exists which, when enabled, derives Serialize and Deserialize
