# AI Signal Confidence Scoring

This page explains the AI signal confidence option, if it is available in your BananaEA version.

Use this feature as an additional filter, not as a guarantee that a trade should be taken.

## What It Does[​](#what-it-does "Direct link to What It Does")

When enabled, the EA assigns a confidence value to a detected signal. The value is compared with the `MinimumAIConfidence` setting.

If the value is below the minimum, the EA can reject the signal.

## Main Setting[​](#main-setting "Direct link to Main Setting")

`MinimumAIConfidence`

* Lower value: allows more signals through.
* Higher value: filters more signals.
* Very high value: may block many or most signals.

## Practical Use[​](#practical-use "Direct link to Practical Use")

1. Start with the default value.
2. Run Strategy Tester.
3. Compare the number of trades and drawdown.
4. Forward test on demo.
5. Change the value only if you understand the effect.

## Important Notes[​](#important-notes "Direct link to Important Notes")

* AI confidence is only one filter.
* It can reject a signal that later would have worked.
* It can allow a signal that later loses.
* It should be tested with the same symbol, timeframe, broker conditions, and preset you plan to use.

## Troubleshooting[​](#troubleshooting "Direct link to Troubleshooting")

If no trades appear:

1. Lower `MinimumAIConfidence`.
2. Confirm the normal signal settings are enabled.
3. Check spread and trading-hour filters.
4. Review the Experts tab for rejection messages.
