Trading Utilities for Order Handling and Market Depth Analysis

Summary

This document is a collection of exchange-trading utilities rather than a standalone trading strategy. It includes helpers for identifying a contract’s base and quote currencies, checking symbol availability, reading price and candle data, and summarizing order-book quantities or estimating the price reached by a cumulative depth amount. One statistical helper removes observations more than two standard deviations from the mean before averaging the remainder.

The order functions support filtering and canceling pending orders, checking quantity precision and minimum size, retrying submissions, waiting for fills, canceling timed-out orders, and completing residual quantities with more aggressive pricing. Additional helpers track countdowns and periodic callbacks and log profit relative to an initial balance. These are implementation patterns, not evidence of trading edge: the document reports no backtest or execution-quality measurements. Retry and cancellation behavior, exchange-specific conventions, and partial-fill handling require careful validation before use, since incorrect assumptions can affect live orders.

Key ideas

• The utilities include order-book depth summaries and estimates of price impact for a cumulative quantity.
• Order helpers check precision and minimum size and provide retry, timeout, cancellation, and residual-fill workflows.
• Market data helpers extract currency symbols and candle series such as volume, range, and closing prices.
• A smoothing function excludes values outside two standard deviations before calculating a mean.
• The collection provides plumbing patterns without performance evidence, and exchange-specific order behavior needs validation.
