DpExchange.Core.Types.Balance (DpExchangeCore v0.3.28)

Normalised balance entry, returned by every venue package.

:timestamp means when we asked

A balance is the only one of the six value types with no venue event time behind it. It is a snapshot, not an occurrence: no exchange reports "this balance happened at 10:04". So its timestamp is the moment the request was made, and that is its freshness — the only honest answer to "how old is this number".

It is enforced for the same reason every other type enforces its timestamp. A balance with no freshness is indistinguishable from a stale one, and a consumer sizing a trade against a balance it believes is current is exactly the failure this family is built to refuse.

:balance may honestly be nil; :currency may not

These two enforced keys are not the same kind of required, and this type used to claim they were — balance: Decimal.t(), with new/1 refusing a nil in either.

A total the venue did not state is a real answer. dp_exchange_coinbase derives the total from the venue's available_balance and hold and carries nil when either side is missing, on the stated ground that "available 1, total unknown" and "total equals available" are different claims and a consumer sizing against the second when the first is true trades against money that is held. That nil is the correct value, and the available_balance beside it is still real and still useful — so refusing the whole entry would throw away good data to avoid reporting an absence honestly. The typespec now says Decimal.t() | nil, which is what the family actually produces.

A currency the venue did not state is not. A balance attributable to no asset cannot be acted on by anyone: there is no reading of it under which a consumer can size, book or reconcile anything. Unlike a missing quantity there is no "the venue declined to say" case either — a holdings row names its asset, and a nil here means a decode read the wrong key, which is precisely what DpExchange.Core.Types.Validate's moduledoc describes a renamed venue field producing. It stays required, and a venue decoder that cannot name the asset must refuse the row rather than emit one.

Same shape of decision, and the same reason, as DpExchange.Core.Types.Order's narrowed @required_non_nil directly below its own @enforce_keys: state what is true rather than a stricter rule the packages then quietly violate.

Summary

Functions

new(attrs)

Builds a t/0, failing closed if a required field is absent or nil.

Types

t()

@type t() :: %DpExchange.Core.Types.Balance{
  available_balance: Decimal.t() | nil,
  balance: Decimal.t() | nil,
  currency: String.t(),
  hold: Decimal.t() | nil,
  provider: atom() | String.t(),
  timestamp: DateTime.t()
}

Functions

new(attrs)

@spec new(keyword() | map()) :: t()

Builds a t/0, failing closed if a required field is absent or nil.

@enforce_keys guards presence, not nil — see DpExchange.Core.Types.Validate. The fields checked here are narrower than @enforce_keys on purpose: :balance may honestly be nil and the moduledoc says when.
