Project description:
"I want a clean, reliable Python script that plugs into Zerodha’s Kite Connect API and automatically trades option contracts whenever the corresponding futures price decisively crosses a level I specify. The logic is straightforward: pick up live futures data, watch the chosen strike, trigger an entry order the very moment that price clears the threshold, and then exit the position by my rules (either at a target, a stop-loss, or a reverse crossover).

Before any order is fired, the code must run a brief checklist to keep slippage in check. I will provide the exact criteria, but think along the lines of confirming the break with a second or two of price stability, checking recent volume or spread quality, and rejecting the trade if those gates fail. The checks need to be configurable so I can tweak them without rewriting the core.

Please structure the project as:
• A configurable settings file (levels, symbols, lot size, risk limits)
• The main Python module that authenticates, streams ticks, evaluates the trigger, passes the pre-trade filters, and places / modifies / cancels orders through Kite Connect
• A quick README or inline comments so I can maintain it myself

The script should run on a standard VPS (Python 3.8+) and tolerate common API hiccups—network drops, session expiry, rejected orders. If you have prior experience with Zerodha web-sockets, order placement throttling, and option chain selection, let me know; it will save us both time.

Deliver the code, a brief walkthrough, and I’ll test it on my paper account before we go live." (client-provided description)
