How to Interpret AI Signal Confidence Scores
Understand what confidence scores mean and how to use them to filter and prioritize trading signals.
What Confidence Scores Mean
Every AI trading signal from TradeSlayers includes a confidence score ranging from 0 to 100. This number represents how strongly our models agree on a particular setup, but it's important to understand what it means—and what it doesn't.
High Confidence (80-100)
A confidence score of 80-100 indicates that multiple independent factors—trend analysis, volume patterns, momentum indicators, and order flow—are all pointing in the same direction. These are high-conviction setups, but they're not guarantees. Markets can always surprise you.
Moderate Confidence (60-79)
Scores between 60-79 suggest moderate alignment. Some factors support the signal while others are neutral or slightly conflicting. These can still be valuable setups, especially if they align with your own analysis or fit into a broader strategy.
Low Confidence (Below 60)
Scores below 60 indicate mixed signals. The models are detecting something, but there's significant disagreement. Many traders filter these out entirely, while others use them as early warnings to watch for confirmation. The best approach is to combine confidence scores with your own judgment. A high-confidence signal during a major news event might be riskier than a moderate signal in a quiet market. Use scores as one input among many, not as the sole decision-maker.
