Class OrderCache

java.lang.Object
  org.mov.analyser.OrderCache

public class OrderCache
extends java.lang.Object

Caches the order of stock quotes in a quote bundle. The GP allows the user to order the evaluation of stock quotes, by several criteria such as unordered, alphabetically by symbol, volume decreasing etc. This gives priority to certain stocks. For example the user might prefer the GP to concentrate on high volume stocks, so ordering the stocks by volume will give high volume stocks a priority. Since sorting is a slow operation, and the GP traverses over the same day many times, it makes sense to cache the order. Profiling results showed this provides a significant speed increase.
