Why Do My Clusters Randomly Change During Live Market or Replay Mode?

Understanding Cluster Variations

 

Reasons for inconsistent clusters

This behavior is normal and can occur due to several factors related to how clusters are calculated and updated:

Order Block Mitigation

When Order Blocks (OBs) are mitigated (invalidated), clusters are recalculated and often become smaller. The market structure changes, which directly impacts how clusters form and evolve.

Dynamic Color Changes

Cluster colors change based on the balance between bullish and bearish order blocks:

  • 🟩 Green → More bullish lines dominate.

  • 🟥 Red → More bearish lines dominate.

  • ⬜ Gray → Bullish and bearish lines are balanced.

Impact of Replay Mode

Replay Mode can sometimes display clusters differently due to how TradingView processes historical data.

  • Limited computing power or differences in data rendering can cause inconsistencies.

  • Clusters in Replay Mode may not update as smoothly as in live mode.

Possible OBs and HOBs

The appearance and disappearance of Possible Order Blocks (OBs) and Possible Hidden Order Blocks (HOBs) can lead to frequent changes in cluster formation.

Recommendation: Disable Possible OBs and HOBs when clustering to improve stability.

Threshold Adjustment

If clusters appear too volatile or inconsistent:

  • Lower the clustering threshold (e.g., to 0.3) to create smaller and more stable clusters.

TradingView Plan Limitation

Display issues can occur due to performance limits.

Are you using TradingView Premium or Enterprise?

Higher-tier plans provide better data processing and can improve cluster stability.

Pro Tip

If you’re using lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute), expect more dynamic behavior due to rapidly forming and dissolving order blocks.

For a more stable view:

  • Switch to a higher timeframe

  • Adjust the clustering settings for better consistency.
