What is a Cluster Filter?
One of the approaches to determining a useful signal (trend) in stream data. Small filtering (smoothing) tests applied to market quotes demonstrate the potential for creating non-lagging digital filters (indicators) that are not redrawn on the last bars.
Standard Approach
This approach is based on classical time series smoothing...
Variety MA Cluster Filter is one method of creating a low-lag digital filter. This is done by calculating two moving averages and then comparing their output to the past value of the combined output and then choosing the max and min between the two moving averages to then determine the combined output. I've included standard deviation filtering for smoothing.
