Quarter-Hour BTC Prediction Lab

Adaptive intra-interval classifier that commits only when confidence clears a time-adjusted threshold

The engine evaluates the active 15-minute interval repeatedly. It freezes the first call that clears its time-adjusted confidence threshold. New calls are prohibited during the final 30 seconds.

Method and limitations

The model trains on simulated checkpoints inside historical 15-minute intervals. Features combine pre-interval context with partial current-interval price, volume, volatility, range, elapsed time, and distance from the settlement reference. The first live call clearing the adaptive threshold is frozen until settlement. Reported performance uses chronological walk-forward simulation.

Seven days provides only about 672 quarter-hour examples. That is enough to test plumbing, not enough to establish a durable edge. Exchange-specific price, latency, fees, market spread, prediction-market settlement rules, and regime shifts can eliminate an apparent advantage.
