quantlab.acquisition.wrds.taq_bars#

Download of NBBO bars resampled on the WRDS server (ADR 0027).

WrdsTaqNbboBarsAcquisition is the nbbo_bars data type of the WRDS vendor. Like the tick download (quantlab.acquisition.wrds.taq) it splits the work into pages of one trading day for one batch of symbols, but each page runs quantlab.acquisition.wrds.nbbo_bars_sql.NbboBarsQuery, which resamples the day’s NBBO records into bars on the server, so only bars cross the network. The raw tier holds one row per (ticker, bar), labelled at the bar’s end, under .../wrds/nbbo_bars/date=.../symbol=.../; quantlab.dataset.nbbo.bars.NbboBarsDataset converts it into the same panel the tick path builds.

The bar size, the session window and the quote filters are fixed at download time. They are recorded in the watermark directory (quantlab.dataset.nbbo.bars.NbboBarsRequest) before the first page, and a later run with different settings is refused, so bars built with different settings are never mixed.
