PostgreSQL Performance: Query to find stocks reaching 52 week highs (joining rows of max values)












2















I have a very simple database structure with "end of day" stock prices which look similar to:



finalyzer_pricedata=> d pdEndOfDayPricEentity
Table "public.pdendofdaypriceentity"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
---------------+---------------+-----------+----------+---------
id | uuid | | not null |
close | numeric(19,2) | | not null |
day | date | | not null |
instrument_id | uuid | | not null |


(instrument_id is the unique ID of the stock)



I now want to select all instrument_id which reach their 52 week high in the current week. (ie. all stocks where the close column in the last 7 days is higher than in the 52 week before that)



I have tried many different approaches: group by and max(), select distinct on, window functions (row_number) but i did not manage to get it below 150 seconds. My best (and simplest) approach currently is:



select CAST(weekHigh.instrument_id AS VARCHAR) instrumentId,
weekHigh.maxClose weekHighValue,
yearHigh.maxClose yearHighValue,
yearHigh.maxDay yearHighDay
from
(select distinct on (eod.instrument_id) instrument_id,
eod.close maxClose,
eod.day as maxDay
from pdendofdaypriceentity eod
where eod.day BETWEEN (CAST('2018-11-12' AS date) - interval '52 weeks') AND (CAST('2018-11-12' AS date) - interval '1 day')
order by eod.instrument_id, close desc) yearHigh
inner join (select eod.instrument_id instrument_id, max(eod.close) maxClose
from pdendofdaypriceentity eod
where eod.day BETWEEN CAST('2018-11-12' AS date) AND CAST('2018-11-18' AS date)
group by eod.instrument_id) weekHigh
on weekHigh.instrument_id = yearHigh.instrument_id
where weekHigh.maxClose > yearHigh.maxClose;


I am very aware that there are dozens of similar questions, but those approaches got me to a working solution, but none helped me improve the performance. The table contains 10 Million Rows from different 28000 stocks. And this is just going to become larger. Is there a way to implement this requirement with a sub-2 second query without denormalization? Any kind of indexes, etc. would be fine obviously.



The query plan for the above approach:

  • Given this data is closing end of day prices - why does the performance need to be 2 seconds or below? Could you not materialize the results each night post-trading and index those results.

  • I would very much like to improve the query. I'm already doing way too much processing in the night. I would like to be able to later customize that query maybe based on custom date ranges.. (maybe not 52 week highs, but 2 year highs compared to the current month.. or 6 weeks vs. today, etc.) I could obviously pregenerate those results or cache them. But I would very much like the flexibility on doing it on the fly.

  • do you really need the maxDay in the result?

    Nov 20 '18 at 14:22











  • I would like to show the user when the high point was reached. But if it would significantly improve performance, i could also leave it out if necessary. But I did not came up with a better solution if i'd drop that requirement.

  • Given this data is closing end of day prices - why does the performance need to be 2 seconds or below? Could you not materialize the results each night post-trading and index those results.

  • I would very much like to improve the query. I'm already doing way too much processing in the night. I would like to be able to later customize that query maybe based on custom date ranges.. (maybe not 52 week highs, but 2 year highs compared to the current month.. or 6 weeks vs. today, etc.) I could obviously pregenerate those results or cache them. But I would very much like the flexibility on doing it on the fly.

Try the following query



select weekHigh.instrument_id,
weekHigh.maxClose weekLowValue,
yearHigh.maxClose yearLowValue
from (
select instrument_id,
max(eod.close) maxClose
from pdendofdaypriceentity eod
where eod.day BETWEEN (CAST('2018-11-12' AS date) - interval '52 weeks') AND (CAST('2018-11-12' AS date) - interval '1 day')
group by eod.instrument_id
) yearHigh
inner join (
select eod.instrument_id instrument_id, max(eod.close) maxClose
from pdendofdaypriceentity eod
where eod.day BETWEEN CAST('2018-11-12' AS date) AND CAST('2018-11-18' AS date)
group by eod.instrument_id
) weekHigh on weekHigh.instrument_id = yearHigh.instrument_id
where weekHigh.maxClose > yearHigh.maxClose;


with the index pdendofdaypriceentity(day, instrument_id, close). Note, that it is missing the maxDay that you have in your query.



It is possible to add the maxDay by another join with pdendofdaypriceentity, however, I would start with the query above without distinct on and order by in the first subquery.

The query could potentially become much faster if you queried on fixed windows rather than a dynamic range.



E.g.




  • This year (calendar)

  • This quarter

  • This month


This is because it allows you to use an index which can find the highest close for an instrument without having to read a range of values.



E.g. If we wanted to find the highest value in 2017



Day-first index



|day|instrument|close|
|31-12-2016|1|12.00|
|01-01-2017|1|19.00| <-- start scan here
...
|06-01-2017|1|31.00| <-- highest
...
|31-12-2017|1|11.00| <-- end scan here
|01-01-2018|1|13.00|


Note: close is effectively unordered, hence the scan



Year-first index



|extract(year from day)|instrument|close|day|
|2016|1|12.00|31-12-2016|
|2017|1|31.00|06-01-2017| <-- highest close for that year at the top
...
|2017|1|19.00|01-01-2017|
...
|2017|1|11.00|31-12-2017|
|2018|1|13.00|01-01-2018|


So, potentially, you get to scan 365 times less records. And you could still request the day.



Note: Your filter would need to use the same date function as the index

  • that is an interesting idea.. so you mean i could create an index with like "(extract quarter from day), close DESC" and than if i'd like to look up like Q1,2,3,4 and it would only need to make 4 index lookups, instead of 365 (for each day)? I guess i'll try it.. in my example i could probably look up q3,q4 of 2017, q1, q2 of 2018.. and make another query the remainder of q3.. Is that more or less what you mean? i'll have to try it. .but it sounds it could improve the performance by a good magnitude..

    – herbert
    Nov 20 '18 at 17:29











  • Yeah - pretty much. So the queries would work of fixed time windows rather than either a rolling time window (e.g. last 52 weeks) or a flexible one.

  • BWT - I'll take the upvotes, but you should probably mark Radim's answer as correct. It addresses the exact question you asked (which mine doesn't) and I don't see much scope for improving performance.

Would you consider doing your data analysis somewhere else? The dimensions you mention are not that much for a sensible R or Python approach. Below example works on a table of 20 million rows (28,000 instrument ID's with 720 observations each) and needs ±1 second on a current Macbook Pro. I produced some mock data to go with it.



With R and data.table:



# Filter data for the past 52 weeks
result <-
data[day >= max(day) - 52*7 & day <= max(day)]

# Get all instances where close was at max
result_52max <-
result[result[, .I[close == max(close)], by = instrument_id]$V1]

# Get all instances where this happened last week
result_7max <-
result_52max[day >= max(day) - 7 & day <= max(day)]



Average runtime: < 1 second.




Reproduction



Data



# Attention: takes a couple of minutes
library(data.table)
set.seed(1701)
data <- NULL
id <- 1
n <- 1000
obs <- 720
for(j in 1:28){
dt <- NULL
dates <- seq.Date(from = as.Date("2017-01-01"), by = "day", length.out = obs)
for(i in (1+(j-1)*n):(n*j)){
start <- sample(1:200, 1)
dt <- rbindlist(list(dt,
data.table(id = id:(id+obs-1),
close = abs(start + cumsum(sample(c(-1, 1), obs, TRUE))),
day = dates,
instrument_id = rep(i, obs))))
id <- id+obs
}
data <- rbindlist(list(data, dt))
}


Structure



> str(data)
Classes ‘data.table’ and 'data.frame': 20160000 obs. of 4 variables:
$ id : int 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...
$ close : num 27 26 27 28 27 28 29 28 29 30 ...
$ day : Date, format: "2017-01-01" "2017-01-02" "2017-01-03" ...
$ instrument_id: int 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
- attr(*, ".internal.selfref")=<externalptr>


Plot for the first five instrument id's



enter image description here



library(ggplot2)
ggplot(subset(data, data$instrument_id <= 5),
aes(day, close, color = as.factor(instrument_id),
group = as.factor(instrument_id))) +
geom_line()

    This is because it allows you to use an index which can find the highest close for an instrument without having to read a range of values.



    E.g. If we wanted to find the highest value in 2017



    Day-first index



    |day|instrument|close|
    |31-12-2016|1|12.00|
    |01-01-2017|1|19.00| <-- start scan here
    ...
    |06-01-2017|1|31.00| <-- highest
    ...
    |31-12-2017|1|11.00| <-- end scan here
    |01-01-2018|1|13.00|


    Note: close is effectively unordered, hence the scan



    Year-first index



    |extract(year from day)|instrument|close|day|
    |2016|1|12.00|31-12-2016|
    |2017|1|31.00|06-01-2017| <-- highest close for that year at the top
    ...
    |2017|1|19.00|01-01-2017|
    ...
    |2017|1|11.00|31-12-2017|
    |2018|1|13.00|01-01-2018|


    So, potentially, you get to scan 365 times less records. And you could still request the day.

I guess i'll try it.. in my example i could probably look up q3,q4 of 2017, q1, q2 of 2018.. and make another query the remainder of q3.. Is that more or less what you mean? i'll have to try it. .but it sounds it could improve the performance by a good magnitude..

    • Yeah - pretty much. So the queries would work of fixed time windows rather than either a rolling time window (e.g. last 52 weeks) or a flexible one.

    • BWT - I'll take the upvotes, but you should probably mark Radim's answer as correct. It addresses the exact question you asked (which mine doesn't) and I don't see much scope for improving performance.

    The query could potentially become much faster if you queried on fixed windows rather than a dynamic range.



    E.g.




    • This year (calendar)

    • This quarter

    • This month


    This is because it allows you to use an index which can find the highest close for an instrument without having to read a range of values.



    E.g. If we wanted to find the highest value in 2017



    Day-first index



    |day|instrument|close|
    |31-12-2016|1|12.00|
    |01-01-2017|1|19.00| <-- start scan here
    ...
    |06-01-2017|1|31.00| <-- highest
    ...
    |31-12-2017|1|11.00| <-- end scan here
    |01-01-2018|1|13.00|


    Note: close is effectively unordered, hence the scan



    Year-first index



    |extract(year from day)|instrument|close|day|
    |2016|1|12.00|31-12-2016|
    |2017|1|31.00|06-01-2017| <-- highest close for that year at the top
    ...
    |2017|1|19.00|01-01-2017|
    ...
    |2017|1|11.00|31-12-2017|
    |2018|1|13.00|01-01-2018|


    So, potentially, you get to scan 365 times less records. And you could still request the day.



    Note: Your filter would need to use the same date function as the index

    Would you consider doing your data analysis somewhere else? The dimensions you mention are not that much for a sensible R or Python approach. Below example works on a table of 20 million rows (28,000 instrument ID's with 720 observations each) and needs ±1 second on a current Macbook Pro. I produced some mock data to go with it.



    With R and data.table:



    # Filter data for the past 52 weeks
    result <-
    data[day >= max(day) - 52*7 & day <= max(day)]

    # Get all instances where close was at max
    result_52max <-
    result[result[, .I[close == max(close)], by = instrument_id]$V1]

    # Get all instances where this happened last week
    result_7max <-
    result_52max[day >= max(day) - 7 & day <= max(day)]



    Average runtime: < 1 second.
