description:
  purpose: One row is a one-minute trade-only bar for one US-listed equity with both as-traded OHLC/VWAP/volume/trade
    count and a parallel set of backward-adjusted prices and volume that account for splits, dividends
    and other corporate actions. Includes FINRA TRF prints and extended hours.
  usage: Backtesting, execution and microstructure research, feature engineering for US equities.
  limitations: 'Delivered as recorded from the source feed: AlgoSeek does not remove crossed or locked
    quotes, bad prints, or out-of-sequence packets unless contracted to. Consumers own cleaning. Backward
    adjustment: the *Adjusted columns are rebuilt whenever a new corporate event is published for the
    SecId, so previously delivered adjusted values are restated and the full SecId history must be re-downloaded
    (guide Daily Updates). Treat the dataset as restating, not append-only. Raw columns (FirstTradePrice
    ... Volume) are as-traded and stay fixed; only the *Adjusted columns move with new events. Verified
    in the sample (AAPL 2020-01-28, SecId 33449): every adjusted price / raw price ratio is about 0.248287
    and VolumeAdjusted = 4.0 x Volume in all 100 rows, consistent with the 4-for-1 split plus price-only
    adjustments such as cash dividends (guide Table 4: Cash Dividend affects price but not volume). Events
    that change price vs volume are listed under enums_and_codes (Table 4 of the guide).'

context:
  instructions: Times are local US Eastern clock times (DST-aware), not UTC. Treat TRADE NB / NBBO-flagged
    rows as the backtest-grade subset. Cancellations reference earlier trades and can arrive hours later,
    so aggregate only after the session closes. Prices are unadjusted unless the dataset name says Adjusted;
    join us-equities-*-adjustment-factors on SecId for adjustment.
  verifiedStatements:
  - id: vs1
    question: What time zone are the timestamps in?
    answer: US Eastern local time with daylight saving (the guides label it EST/ET).
  - id: vs2
    question: Are prices adjusted for splits and dividends?
    answer: Only in datasets whose name contains Adjusted; all others are as traded.
  constraints:
  - id: c1
    constraint: 'Licensed vendor data: never export raw rows to a tenant-local destination or include
      them verbatim in a public artifact; serve only through entitlement-checked platform reads.'
  - id: c3
    constraint: Do not treat the vendor's `Ticker` as a stable identity across time; join on an AlgoSeek
      security key (SecId or ASID, which are distinct) or the platform symbol mapping.

  - Primary key is inferred; AlgoSeek's guide does not name one.
  - 'Doc discrepancy: Sample header matches guide Table 2 field-for-field and in order (17 columns); no
    column differences.'
  - 'Doc discrepancy: Guide''s VolumeWeightPrice formula reads sum(Trade_Shares x (Trade_Price - NBBOMidpoint))
    / sum(Trade_Shares), which subtracts a quote-based term that a trade-only dataset cannot have; the
    same sentence and the guide''s own single-trade examples (VWAP equals the trade price) show the intended
    value is sum(price x shares)/sum(shares).'
  - 'Doc discrepancy: Guide''s Table 1 example (AAPL 20200825) shows an adjusted/raw price ratio of exactly
    0.25 and VolumeAdjusted = 4 x Volume (split only), while the downloadable sample (AAPL 20200128) shows
    a price ratio of about 0.24829 and the same 4x volume factor. The guide example appears to be an older
    snapshot taken before later dividend adjustments; the guide does not spell out the exact ad…'
  - 'Doc discrepancy: Guide describes two versions (Standard and No-FINRA/TRF and Odd Lots) of the adjusted
    dataset but has no ex-FINRA schema; the separate ex-FINRA adjusted product uses a different 13-column
    layout.'
  - 'Doc discrepancy: Guide has no Appendix B (bar-calculation rules or trade-flag lists) for the adjusted
    bars, unlike the base Minute Bar guide.'
  - 'Doc discrepancy: Guide cover title is ''US Equity Trade Only Minute Bar Adjusted Guide'' but running
    headers say ''US Equity Trade Only Adjusted Minute Bar Guide''.'
  - 'Doc discrepancy: About 16 sample VolumeWeightPrice values carry floating-point noise (14 fractional
    digits, e.g. 310.31813999999997); the guide shows at most 5 decimals.'
  - 'Doc discrepancy: Guide''s Bar Notes word the bar interval as strictly ''greater than'' the start
    time and ''less than'' the next boundary (minute bar 11:04 = >11:04 to <11:05; second bar 13:03:01
    = >13:03:01 to <13:03:02). Read literally this excludes a trade stamped exactly on the start; whether
    the start is actually inclusive is not stated.'
