The AI Engine employs an ML pipeline (LightGBM signal scorer + anomaly detector) to filter and rank entry candidates; this particular signal passed the ML screening process, indicating favorable conditions for a long position. Despite the lack of specific per-trade ML scores for this session, the system's overall high win rate reflects the efficacy of its filtering mechanisms.
