+# BTCUSDT Opening range continuation 15m
+
+This strategy implements an opening range continuation approach for BTCUSDT on 15-minute candles using LightGBM.
+
+## Overview
+
+- **Pair**: BTCUSDT
+- **Timeframe**: 15m
+- **Model**: LightGBM with feature engineering focused on opening range continuation
+- **Goal**: Trade continuations of price movements that break out of the opening range
+
+## Features Engineered
+
+1. **Returns**: 1, 3, 6, 12 period returns
+2. **Opening range features**:
+   - Position within opening range (previous period's high/low)
+   - Breakout signals above/below opening range
+   - Continuation signals (price moving further in breakout direction)
+3. **ATR-normalized candle range and close location value** (from idea)
+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`: 3 candles forward for labeling (45 minutes for 15m timeframe)
+- `threshold`: 0.008 (80 pips) for ATR-normalized breakout
+- `min_confidence`: 0.48 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": {}}
+```
+
+## Disclaimer
+
+Educational template only. Not financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
