v3.5.8: DateTime Parsing Fix

🚀 v3.5.8: DateTime Parsing Fix for Mixed Timestamp Formats

Overview

This patch release fixes a critical datetime parsing error that prevented users from retrieving market data when the API returned mixed timestamp formats. The fix ensures reliable data retrieval across all scenarios while maintaining full backward compatibility.

🐛 Bug Fixes

DateTime Parsing

• Fixed critical datetime parsing error when API returns mixed timestamp formats
• Implemented robust three-tier parsing approach that handles all timestamp variations:
  • ⚡ Fast path for consistent data (95% of cases)
  • 🔄 UTC fallback for naive timestamps
  • 🎯 Mixed format handler for complex scenarios
• Handles all timestamp formats:
  • With timezone offset: "2025-01-21T10:30:00-05:00"
  • With UTC Z suffix: "2025-01-21T15:30:00Z"
  • Without timezone: "2025-01-21T10:30:00"

Test Improvements

• Fixed flaky cache performance test (test_cache_performance_benefits)
• Improved test robustness by verifying cache functionality rather than unreliable microsecond timing

💡 Problem Solved

Users were encountering this error when calling get_bars() or TradingSuite.create():

strptime / to_datetime was called with no format and no time zone,
but a time zone is part of the data

This issue has been completely resolved with zero breaking changes.

✅ Key Benefits

• 🔧 Reliable market data retrieval regardless of API timestamp format
• 🚀 TradingSuite initialization works smoothly with all data formats
• ⚡ Performance optimized with fast path for majority of cases
• 🔄 Zero breaking changes - fully backward compatible
• 🧪 Improved CI/CD reliability with stable performance tests

v3.5.7: Critical Order Placement Fix

🐛 Critical Bug Fix Release

This release fixes a critical JSON serialization error that prevented orders from being placed when using Decimal prices.

What's Fixed

Order Placement Serialization 🔧

• Fixed: JSON serialization error when placing orders with Decimal prices
• Fixed: API compatibility by properly converting Decimal to float for JSON requests
• Maintained: Internal Decimal precision for accurate tick size alignment

Technical Details

The issue occurred when the OrderManager attempted to send Decimal objects in the JSON payload to the ProjectX API. JSON doesn't natively support Python's Decimal type, causing a TypeError: Object of type Decimal is not JSON serializable.

Solution: Prices are now converted to float when building the API request payload while maintaining Decimal precision internally for tick size alignment calculations.

# Before (caused error)
payload = {
    "limitPrice": aligned_limit_price,  # Decimal object
    ...
}

# After (fixed)
payload = {
    "limitPrice": float(aligned_limit_price) if aligned_limit_price is not None else None,
    ...
}

Documentation Updates 📚

• Added comprehensive documentation examples in examples/Documentation_Examples/
• Updated all version references to v3.5.7

• API Reference: Updated docs/api/trading-suite.md with session parameters
• Comprehensive Example: examples/sessions/00_eth_vs_rth_sessions_demo.py

Example Usage

The example script demonstrates:

• Basic session filtering
• Session-aware indicators
• Volume analysis by session
• Performance comparison ETH vs RTH
• Session transition detection
• Backtesting with sessions
• Custom session boundaries

⚠️ Known Limitations

This is an experimental feature with the following limitations:

• Session boundaries may need adjustment based on contract specifications
• Overnight session handling requires further testing
• Performance impact with large datasets not fully optimized
• Some futures products may have non-standard session times

🔧 Technical Implementation

• Implemented with Polars DataFrame filtering for performance
• Caching of session boundaries reduces computation overhead
• Lazy evaluation prevents unnecessary filtering operations
• Fully async implementation maintains SDK consistency
• Compatible with all existing indicators and analysis tools

📈 Performance Metrics

Testing shows:

• ETH sessions: ~1,410 bars/day (23.5 hours trading)
• RTH sessions: ~390 bars/day (6.5 hours trading)
• Data increase: 366% more bars in ETH
• Filtering overhead: < 5ms for typical operations
• Memory efficient with lazy evaluation

🧪 Testing Coverage

Added comprehensive test coverage:

• 30 integration tests for session filtering
• Unit tests for all session components
• Mock data testing for backtesting scenarios
• Performance benchmarks included

🔄 Backward Compatibility

This release maintains full backward compatibility:

• Session filtering is opt-in via session_config parameter
• Default behavior unchanged (BOTH sessions)
• No breaking changes to existing APIs
• All existing code continues to work without modification

📝 Migration Guide

To add session filtering to existing code:

# Before (v3.3.x)
suite = await TradingSuite.create("MNQ", timeframes=["1min"])

# After (v3.4.0) - with session filtering
from project_x_py.sessions import SessionConfig, SessionType

suite = await TradingSuite.create(
    "MNQ",
    timeframes=["1min"],
    session_config=SessionConfig(session_type=SessionType.RTH)
)
