Bases: mlfinlab.online_data_structures.base_bars.BarGenerator

Class which implements dollar bars compression.

__metaclass__
process_tick(tick: dict | list) bool

Process one tick or a list of ticks. :return: (bool) Flag indicating that a new bar was formed.

set_threshold(threshold: float)

Set new threshold for bar calculations. :param threshold: (float) threshold to set.

apply_tick_rule(price: float) Tuple[int, float]

Applies the tick rule as defined on page 29 of Advances in Financial Machine Learning. :param price: (float) Price at time t. :return: (Tuple[int, float]) The signed tick and tick difference.
