Daichi Narushima b5e82e71c7 Add trading session helpers and extend ThrottledHistoryUpdater (#25)
* Add trading session helpers and extend ThrottledHistoryUpdater

Introduce mt5cli.trading with mt5_trading_session() for Mt5TradingClient
lifecycle management and reusable operational helpers for position-side
detection, margin/volume sizing, and protective order price derivation.

Extend ThrottledHistoryUpdater to validate inputs before updates and to
optionally suppress ValueError, OSError, and missing-method errors without
advancing the throttle timestamp.

Export the new helpers from mt5cli.__init__, add unit tests with mocked
clients, and document migration guidance for downstream projects such as
mteor.

* Narrow ThrottledHistoryUpdater suppress_errors handling (#27)

* Narrow ThrottledHistoryUpdater suppress_errors for MT5 capability only

Remove broad AttributeError/TypeError handling from recoverable errors.
Add _is_mt5_client_capability_error() to detect missing history API methods
or non-callable client attributes by message and attribute name.

Generic AttributeError/TypeError values always propagate even when
suppress_errors=True. Update docs and tests accordingly.

* Detect non-callable history client methods in suppress_errors

Address review feedback: when a history API attribute exists but is not
callable, Python raises a generic TypeError. Inspect the traceback for
mt5cli.history client call sites so these capability mismatches are still
suppressed without matching all TypeError values.

* Address PR review feedback on trading helpers

- Resolve history module path once at import time
- Only treat non-callable TypeErrors as capability errors at the raise site
- Validate SL/TP ratios in determine_order_limits
- Add tests for margin_free edge cases, body-raise shutdown, and internal TypeError propagation
- Clarify ThrottledHistoryUpdater suppress_errors docs
- Split README migration example into trading vs read-only history sessions

* Tighten protective ratio validation and clamp negative margin_free

Add _require_protective_ratio enforcing 0 <= ratio < 1 for SL/TP limits so
a ratio of 1.0 cannot produce zero protective prices. Clamp negative
margin_free to 0.0 in calculate_margin_and_volume before sizing.

Add boundary and negative-margin tests; document constraints in trading API
docs.

Trading Module

::: mt5cli.trading

Trading-capable MT5 sessions

mt5_trading_session() complements the read-only mt5_session() helper in sdk.py. It yields a connected pdmt5.Mt5TradingClient, uses Mt5Config.path to launch the terminal when configured, and always calls shutdown() on exit.

from pdmt5 import Mt5Config

from mt5cli import mt5_trading_session

with mt5_trading_session(
    Mt5Config(path=r"C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5\terminal64.exe", login=12345),
    retry_count=2,
) as client:
    positions = client.positions_get_as_df(symbol="EURUSD")

The read-only Mt5CliClient / mt5_session() API is unchanged.

Operational trading helpers

These helpers are strategy-agnostic and do not depend on signal detection, betting logic, or scheduling code in downstream applications.

from mt5cli import (
    calculate_margin_and_volume,
    detect_position_side,
    determine_order_limits,
)

side = detect_position_side(client, "EURUSD")
sizing = calculate_margin_and_volume(
    client,
    "EURUSD",
    unit_margin_ratio=0.5,
    preserved_margin_ratio=0.2,
)
limits = determine_order_limits(
    client,
    "EURUSD",
    side="long",
    stop_loss_limit_ratio=0.01,
    take_profit_limit_ratio=0.02,
)

Protective ratios must satisfy 0 <= ratio < 1; 0 omits that level. calculate_margin_and_volume() clamps negative margin_free to 0.0 before sizing.

Migration from mteor-local helpers

mteor-local concern mt5cli replacement
Manual terminal spawn/kill around trading code mt5_trading_session()
Local position-side detection detect_position_side()
Local margin/volume sizing calculate_margin_and_volume()
Local SL/TP price derivation determine_order_limits()
Throttled SQLite history loop with ad-hoc error handling ThrottledHistoryUpdater(suppress_errors=True)

Keep read-only data collection on mt5_session() / Mt5CliClient; use mt5_trading_session() only where order placement or trading calculations are required.
