Fixes #1175.

When the data source's fill timestep fell back to day while an intraday (minute/hour) series was already loaded for the order's asset, the fill priced off minute data resampled to day. The resample drops the current partial session, so fills landed on the previous day's pre-market bar.

The fill now uses the intraday unit already loaded for that asset, keeping the IBKR stock/index native-day contract intact.

Adds unit coverage for the resolver plus an end-to-end regression test that replays the issue scenario with mocked Polygon data.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed daily backtesting market orders filling at a stale price from a prior session when intraday data is loaded. Orders now use the loaded minute or hour data where applicable, while preserving native daily fills for supported stock and index contracts.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for fill timing across daily, minute, and hourly data, including regression coverage for stale-price fills.

(minute/hour) series was already loaded for the order's asset, the fill
priced off minute data resampled to day. The resample drops the current
partial session, so fills landed on the previous day's pre-market bar
(issue Lumiwealth#1175). Now the fill uses the intraday unit already loaded for
that asset, keeping the IBKR stock/index native-day contract intact.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

When the native-day contract does not apply and the default fill timestep is daily, the broker now selects a loaded minute series, or an hour series if no minute series is loaded. Tests cover timestep selection and a Polygon backtest fill at the current day’s open.

Changes

Backtest fill timestep

Layer / File(s) Summary
Loaded intraday timestep selection
lumibot/backtesting/backtesting_broker.py, tests/test_backtesting_broker.py
The broker selects a loaded minute series before an hour series when the fallback is daily. Tests cover loaded and missing intraday series, plus the IBKR native-day exception.
Daily Polygon fill regression
tests/backtest/test_day_fill_stale_regression.py
A backtest test loads minute data and asserts that a market order fills at the current day’s open, not the prior session’s sentinel price.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f4cb7

The stale market-fill fix can cause daily strategies to miss limit, stop, or trailing-order triggers between iterations, producing incorrect backtest results. Preserve working-order range evaluation before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to f4cb7

The change affects simulated fill pricing rather than live-trading authority or credentials. No introduced security issue was established. Compatibility with custom data sources and concurrent data loading remains incompletely verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is simulated order pricing within a configured backtesting data source. The changed selection path does not establish expanded live-order authority, credential access, or a new cross-service dependency.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Loaded-series matching rejects different assets and explicitly different non-null quotes. Standard Pandas construction defaults missing quotes to USD. Quote-less keys remain accepted by the matching predicate, so arbitrary custom-store quote isolation is not proven; no reachable wrong-quote fill was established.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The new helpers do not mutate orders, cash, or positions. Existing missing-data handling continues pending processing without a fill, and successful fills retain the centralized execution path. This does not establish atomicity between mutable-store inspection and retrieval, or safety under concurrent re-entry.

Evaluate all intervening intraday bars for daily-cadence working orders.

When _resolve_order_fill_timestep returns "minute" or "hour" for a daily fallback, process_pending_orders evaluates limit, stop, and trailing orders using only that selected bar's high and low. The executor processes pending orders once per trading iteration, then advances the broker by the configured 1D sleep duration. It does not scan the skipped intraday bars. An order that crosses only during an intervening bar can remain open and produce incorrect backtest results.

Preserve daily-range evaluation for working orders, or evaluate every intervening intraday bar before advancing the daily strategy.
