Windowing#

A series of time windowing examples are provided showing how to aggregate across time windows, and retrieve time and record relative values, using OneTick Cloud sample databases.

Accumulative Sum#

Accumulative sums are returned through use of both the SUM aggregate, plus the OVER clause, ordering by TIMESTAMP asc.

Accumulative Sum of Trade Size across the time window#

select PRICE, SIZE,
SUM(SIZE) OVER(order by TIMESTAMP asc) as ACCUM_SIZE
from LSE_SAMPLE.TRD
where symbol_name = 'VOD'
and TIMESTAMP >= '2024-01-03 08:00:00 UTC'
and TIMESTAMP < '2024-01-04 16:00:00 UTC'
LIMIT 10

Accumulative Sum of SIZE across the time window results#

Rolling Sum#

Rolling sums are returned with a syntax similar to the Accumulative Sum. However in this case the OVER clause includes a range interval. e.g. over(order by TIMESTAMP asc range interval '60' second preceding)

Rolling Sum of Trade Size across a 60 second rolling period#

select PRICE, SIZE,
SUM(SIZE) over(order by TIMESTAMP asc range interval '60' second preceding) as ROLLING_SIZE_1_MIN
from LSE_SAMPLE.TRD
where symbol_name = 'VOD'
and TIMESTAMP >= '2024-01-03 08:00:00 UTC'
and TIMESTAMP < '2024-01-04 16:00:00 UTC'
LIMIT 1000

Moving Average in Records#

Moving averages can be calculated based on a number of rows, rather than a range interval.

Time Shifts#

Values can be retrieved relative to the current row by a specified time period in milliseconds using the time_shift function. , which requires the field enclosed in quotes, plus the time shift. Negative time shifts retrieve the prevailing value at the specified number of milliseconds before the row timestamp. Positive time shifts retrieve the prevailing value at the specified number of milliseconds after the row timestamp.

Trades with Time shifts 1, 10, and 60 seconds before and after each trade retrieval#

Record Shifts / Lag & Lead#

Values can be retrieved relative to the current row by a specified number of records using the LAG and LEAD functions.

They require the field, and assume a 1 record offset, or additionally the number of records to shift is also included.

LAG(MID_PRICE) - Return the MID_PRICE shifted back 1 record
LAG(MID_PRICE,5) - Return the MID_PRICE shifted back 5 records
