This sample demonstrates how to set up an execution plan with a sequence-based query that can be used to detect trends from a stock trades stream. This sample uses the Event Simulator for inputs and the logger publisher for logging the custom output events to the CEP console. Custom events are events with custom mappings that does not adhere to the default event formats. For more information on event formats, see Event Formats. 

The query used in this sample is as follows:

...

• A partition is defined with the symbol attribute of the StockStream, which means that the processing will take place independently for events of each symbol.
• Processes the events received through the FilteredStockStream.
• First it looks for an event e1 with the condition price greater than 20.
• Then it looks for one or more events, e2 with a condition:

  • ((e2[last].price is null) and price>=e1.price) is used to check the first event after e1, i.e. (e2[last].price is null) returns true since there is no last event in e2. Then it checks for the condition where the current event price is greater than e1 price.

  • ((not (e2[last].price is null)) and price>=e2[last].price) this part is for any subsequent events. In this case the last of e2 is not null, and we check whether the price of the current event is greater than the last event. i.e. we are looking for one or more events with continuous price increase from this whole condition.

• Then we look for another event with a price drop from the last e2 event from the condition e3=FilteredStockStream[price<e2[last].price].
• From the select clause we select the attributes e1.price as priceInitial, e2[last].price as pricePeak, e3.price as priceAfterPeak.
• Finally the event is output to the PeakStream.
