# GBPJPY News-window risk gate 5m
This strategy implements a news-window risk gate approach for GBPJPY on 5-minute candles using HistGradientBoostingClassifier.
## Overview
- **Pair**: GBPJPY
- **Timeframe**: 5m
- **Model**: HistGradientBoostingClassifier with feature engineering focused on news-window risk management
- **Goal**: Reduce trading during high-impact news events while capturing post-news reversals
## Features Engineered
1. **Returns**: 1, 3, 6, 12 period returns
2. **ATR-normalized candle range and close location value** (from idea)
3. **News-window risk gate**:
- Volatility spikes (proxy for news events)
- Volume spikes (accompanying news)
- Combined news likelihood signal
- Post-news reaction features (fade the initial move)
4. **Distance from EMAs** (from idea): 20, 50, and 200 period EMAs
5. **Prior swing high and swing low distance** (from idea)
6. **Volume features**: Z-score and ratio to moving average
7. **Rolling volatility percentile** (from idea): Fast/slow volatility ratio, volatility percentile
## Configuration
See `quant.config.json` for hyperparameters:
- `lookback`: 100 candles for prediction
- `horizon`: 5 candles forward for labeling (5m timeframe)
- `threshold`: 0.0012 (12 pips) for ATR-normalized breakout
- `min_confidence`: 0.52 minimum probability for signal generation
## Usage
This template follows the PyP Quant Mode contract:
```python
def train(data, config):
return model, metrics
def predict(model, market_data, config):
return {"signal": "UP|DOWN|HOLD", "confidence": 0.0, "metadata": {}}
```
