A mechanical refactoring was performed to make algorithms currently used in
regression algorithms to implement IRegressionAlgorithmDefinition, which allows
algorithms to define their own expected statistics and what languages should be
run as part of regression. The type name of the C# type is used to determine the
file/model name for python. This was for simplicity, but if needed, could later be
refactored to expose more information, but for now the convention of keeping names
the same makes sense and just works easily.
There's no good reason to use a finalizer here.
Regression algorithms should use the OnEndOfAlgorithm event to handle
checks/assertions following the algorithm's completion.
1. Made sure we treat properly option expiration dates before Feb 2015 and after. Added tests.
2. Refactored expiration delisting, assignments/option exercise to happen in the end of the date, not MOC orders in the beginning of the day. Regression test.
3. Refactored option exercise model to generate proper fills on assignments/option. Those fills are reflected correctly in margins, in stats and correspond to IB model. Still need to run IB real-life live tests.
4. Refactored option symbol related functions into separate module (OptionSymbol.cs)
5. Made sure OnAssignmentEvent arrived to the user algo in regression test. Do we need OnExercise event? Not sure.
6. Tested end-to-end Ray's current code (covered call strat) to see short option legs expire worthless, and stats updated.
