@debut/plugin-session

The Debut plugin, for limiting the trading session time. Allows you to configure the working hours for the strategy, as well as to detect the change of the day. The plugin automatically performs the correction of time zones, at the transition of USA to summer and winter time, so there are no failures on time shifts during testing. It is recommended to use to block work on pre or post market exchanges.

Install

npm install @debut/plugin-session --save

Be aware with

Initialization

import { SessionPluginOptions, sessionPlugin } from '@debut/plugin-session';

export interface MyStrategyOpts extends DebutOptions, SessionPluginOptions;

// ...
constructor(transport: BaseTransport, opts: MyStrategyOpts) {
    super(transport, opts);

    this.registerPlugins([
        // ...
        this.opts.from && this.opts.to && sessionPlugin(this.opts),
        // ...
    ]);

Work with Genetic

The plugin automatically removes candles, which are not within a range specified in the time settings. This will increase the speed of the strategy optimization.

To enable the candlestick filtration, add the appropriate filter in the meta file (meta.ts)

import { createSessionValidator } from '@debut/plugin-session';

// ...
ticksFilter(cfg: MyStrategyOpts) {
    if (!cfg.from && !cfg.to) {
        return () => true;
    }

    const tickValidator = createSessionValidator(cfg.from, cfg.to, cfg.noTimeSwitching);

    return (tick) => {
        return tickValidator(tick.time).inSession;
    };
},
// ...
