# Module: Metrics Calculation System
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
The metrics calculation system provides high-performance computation of Order Book Imbalance (OBI) and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicators for cryptocurrency trading analysis. It processes orderbook snapshots and trade data to generate financial metrics with per-snapshot granularity.
|
||||
|
||||
## Public Interface
|
||||
|
||||
### Classes
|
||||
|
||||
#### `Metric` (dataclass)
|
||||
Represents calculated metrics for a single orderbook snapshot.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
@dataclass(slots=True)
|
||||
class Metric:
|
||||
snapshot_id: int # Reference to source snapshot
|
||||
timestamp: int # Unix timestamp
|
||||
obi: float # Order Book Imbalance [-1, 1]
|
||||
cvd: float # Cumulative Volume Delta
|
||||
best_bid: float | None # Best bid price
|
||||
best_ask: float | None # Best ask price
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### `MetricCalculator` (static class)
|
||||
Provides calculation methods for financial metrics.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class MetricCalculator:
|
||||
@staticmethod
|
||||
def calculate_obi(snapshot: BookSnapshot) -> float
|
||||
|
||||
@staticmethod
|
||||
def calculate_volume_delta(trades: List[Trade]) -> float
|
||||
|
||||
@staticmethod
|
||||
def calculate_cvd(previous_cvd: float, volume_delta: float) -> float
|
||||
|
||||
@staticmethod
|
||||
def get_best_bid_ask(snapshot: BookSnapshot) -> tuple[float | None, float | None]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Functions
|
||||
|
||||
#### Order Book Imbalance (OBI) Calculation
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def calculate_obi(snapshot: BookSnapshot) -> float:
|
||||
"""
|
||||
Calculate Order Book Imbalance using the standard formula.
|
||||
|
||||
Formula: OBI = (Vb - Va) / (Vb + Va)
|
||||
Where:
|
||||
Vb = Total volume on bid side
|
||||
Va = Total volume on ask side
|
||||
|
||||
Args:
|
||||
snapshot: BookSnapshot containing bids and asks data
|
||||
|
||||
Returns:
|
||||
float: OBI value between -1 and 1, or 0.0 if no volume
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
>>> snapshot = BookSnapshot(bids={50000.0: OrderbookLevel(...)}, ...)
|
||||
>>> obi = MetricCalculator.calculate_obi(snapshot)
|
||||
>>> print(f"OBI: {obi:.3f}")
|
||||
OBI: 0.333
|
||||
"""
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Volume Delta Calculation
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def calculate_volume_delta(trades: List[Trade]) -> float:
|
||||
"""
|
||||
Calculate Volume Delta for a list of trades.
|
||||
|
||||
Volume Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume
|
||||
- Buy trades (side = "buy"): positive contribution
|
||||
- Sell trades (side = "sell"): negative contribution
|
||||
|
||||
Args:
|
||||
trades: List of Trade objects for specific timestamp
|
||||
|
||||
Returns:
|
||||
float: Net volume delta (positive = buy pressure, negative = sell pressure)
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
>>> trades = [
|
||||
... Trade(side="buy", size=10.0, ...),
|
||||
... Trade(side="sell", size=3.0, ...)
|
||||
... ]
|
||||
>>> vd = MetricCalculator.calculate_volume_delta(trades)
|
||||
>>> print(f"Volume Delta: {vd}")
|
||||
Volume Delta: 7.0
|
||||
"""
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Calculation
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def calculate_cvd(previous_cvd: float, volume_delta: float) -> float:
|
||||
"""
|
||||
Calculate Cumulative Volume Delta with incremental support.
|
||||
|
||||
Formula: CVD_t = CVD_{t-1} + Volume_Delta_t
|
||||
|
||||
Args:
|
||||
previous_cvd: Previous CVD value (use 0.0 for reset)
|
||||
volume_delta: Current volume delta to add
|
||||
|
||||
Returns:
|
||||
float: New cumulative volume delta value
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
>>> cvd = 0.0 # Starting value
|
||||
>>> cvd = MetricCalculator.calculate_cvd(cvd, 10.0) # First trade
|
||||
>>> cvd = MetricCalculator.calculate_cvd(cvd, -5.0) # Second trade
|
||||
>>> print(f"CVD: {cvd}")
|
||||
CVD: 5.0
|
||||
"""
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic OBI Calculation
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from models import MetricCalculator, BookSnapshot, OrderbookLevel
|
||||
|
||||
# Create sample orderbook snapshot
|
||||
snapshot = BookSnapshot(
|
||||
id=1,
|
||||
timestamp=1640995200,
|
||||
bids={
|
||||
50000.0: OrderbookLevel(price=50000.0, size=10.0, liquidation_count=0, order_count=1),
|
||||
49999.0: OrderbookLevel(price=49999.0, size=5.0, liquidation_count=0, order_count=1),
|
||||
},
|
||||
asks={
|
||||
50001.0: OrderbookLevel(price=50001.0, size=3.0, liquidation_count=0, order_count=1),
|
||||
50002.0: OrderbookLevel(price=50002.0, size=2.0, liquidation_count=0, order_count=1),
|
||||
}
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Calculate OBI
|
||||
obi = MetricCalculator.calculate_obi(snapshot)
|
||||
print(f"OBI: {obi:.3f}") # Output: OBI: 0.500
|
||||
# Explanation: (15 - 5) / (15 + 5) = 10/20 = 0.5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CVD Calculation with Reset
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from models import MetricCalculator, Trade
|
||||
|
||||
# Simulate trading session
|
||||
cvd = 0.0 # Reset CVD at session start
|
||||
|
||||
# Process trades for first timestamp
|
||||
trades_t1 = [
|
||||
Trade(id=1, trade_id=1.0, price=50000.0, size=8.0, side="buy", timestamp=1000),
|
||||
Trade(id=2, trade_id=2.0, price=50001.0, size=3.0, side="sell", timestamp=1000),
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
vd_t1 = MetricCalculator.calculate_volume_delta(trades_t1) # 8.0 - 3.0 = 5.0
|
||||
cvd = MetricCalculator.calculate_cvd(cvd, vd_t1) # 0.0 + 5.0 = 5.0
|
||||
|
||||
# Process trades for second timestamp
|
||||
trades_t2 = [
|
||||
Trade(id=3, trade_id=3.0, price=49999.0, size=2.0, side="buy", timestamp=1001),
|
||||
Trade(id=4, trade_id=4.0, price=50000.0, size=7.0, side="sell", timestamp=1001),
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
vd_t2 = MetricCalculator.calculate_volume_delta(trades_t2) # 2.0 - 7.0 = -5.0
|
||||
cvd = MetricCalculator.calculate_cvd(cvd, vd_t2) # 5.0 + (-5.0) = 0.0
|
||||
|
||||
print(f"Final CVD: {cvd}") # Output: Final CVD: 0.0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Complete Metrics Processing
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from models import MetricCalculator, Metric
|
||||
|
||||
def process_snapshot_metrics(snapshot, trades, previous_cvd=0.0):
|
||||
"""Process complete metrics for a single snapshot."""
|
||||
|
||||
# Calculate OBI
|
||||
obi = MetricCalculator.calculate_obi(snapshot)
|
||||
|
||||
# Calculate volume delta and CVD
|
||||
volume_delta = MetricCalculator.calculate_volume_delta(trades)
|
||||
cvd = MetricCalculator.calculate_cvd(previous_cvd, volume_delta)
|
||||
|
||||
# Extract best bid/ask
|
||||
best_bid, best_ask = MetricCalculator.get_best_bid_ask(snapshot)
|
||||
|
||||
# Create metric record
|
||||
metric = Metric(
|
||||
snapshot_id=snapshot.id,
|
||||
timestamp=snapshot.timestamp,
|
||||
obi=obi,
|
||||
cvd=cvd,
|
||||
best_bid=best_bid,
|
||||
best_ask=best_ask
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
return metric, cvd
|
||||
|
||||
# Usage in processing loop
|
||||
current_cvd = 0.0
|
||||
for snapshot, trades in snapshot_trade_pairs:
|
||||
metric, current_cvd = process_snapshot_metrics(snapshot, trades, current_cvd)
|
||||
# Store metric to database...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
### Internal
|
||||
- `models.BookSnapshot`: Orderbook state data
|
||||
- `models.Trade`: Individual trade execution data
|
||||
- `models.OrderbookLevel`: Price level information
|
||||
|
||||
### External
|
||||
- **Python Standard Library**: `typing` for type hints
|
||||
- **No external packages required**
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
### Computational Complexity
|
||||
- **OBI Calculation**: O(n) where n = number of price levels
|
||||
- **Volume Delta**: O(m) where m = number of trades
|
||||
- **CVD Calculation**: O(1) - simple addition
|
||||
- **Best Bid/Ask**: O(n) for min/max operations
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory Usage
|
||||
- **Static Methods**: No instance state, minimal memory overhead
|
||||
- **Calculations**: Process data in-place without copying
|
||||
- **Results**: Lightweight `Metric` objects with slots optimization
|
||||
|
||||
### Typical Performance
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Benchmark results (approximate)
|
||||
Snapshot with 50 price levels: ~0.1ms per OBI calculation
|
||||
Timestamp with 20 trades: ~0.05ms per volume delta
|
||||
CVD update: ~0.001ms per calculation
|
||||
Complete metric processing: ~0.2ms per snapshot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Edge Cases Handled
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Empty orderbook
|
||||
empty_snapshot = BookSnapshot(bids={}, asks={})
|
||||
obi = MetricCalculator.calculate_obi(empty_snapshot) # Returns 0.0
|
||||
|
||||
# No trades
|
||||
empty_trades = []
|
||||
vd = MetricCalculator.calculate_volume_delta(empty_trades) # Returns 0.0
|
||||
|
||||
# Zero volume scenario
|
||||
zero_vol_snapshot = BookSnapshot(
|
||||
bids={50000.0: OrderbookLevel(price=50000.0, size=0.0, ...)},
|
||||
asks={50001.0: OrderbookLevel(price=50001.0, size=0.0, ...)}
|
||||
)
|
||||
obi = MetricCalculator.calculate_obi(zero_vol_snapshot) # Returns 0.0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Validation
|
||||
- **OBI Range**: Results automatically bounded to [-1, 1]
|
||||
- **Division by Zero**: Handled gracefully with 0.0 return
|
||||
- **Invalid Data**: Empty collections handled without errors
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Coverage
|
||||
- **Unit Tests**: `tests/test_metric_calculator.py`
|
||||
- **Integration Tests**: Included in storage and strategy tests
|
||||
- **Edge Cases**: Empty data, zero volume, boundary conditions
|
||||
|
||||
### Running Tests
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run metric calculator tests specifically
|
||||
uv run pytest tests/test_metric_calculator.py -v
|
||||
|
||||
# Run all tests with metrics
|
||||
uv run pytest -k "metric" -v
|
||||
|
||||
# Performance tests
|
||||
uv run pytest tests/test_metric_calculator.py::test_calculate_obi_performance
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Limitations
|
||||
- **Precision**: Floating-point arithmetic limitations for very small numbers
|
||||
- **Scale**: No optimization for extremely large orderbooks (>10k levels)
|
||||
- **Currency**: No multi-currency support (assumes single denomination)
|
||||
|
||||
### Planned Enhancements
|
||||
- **Decimal Precision**: Consider `decimal.Decimal` for high-precision calculations
|
||||
- **Vectorization**: NumPy integration for batch calculations
|
||||
- **Additional Metrics**: Volume Profile, Liquidity metrics, Delta Flow
|
