# Cluster Search

&#x20;Found values within the cluster can serve as a reference point in market analysis, act as levels, and also serve as signals for entering a position.

When the Cluster Search indicator finds a value with the indicated parameters, it highlights it and marks it with a shape. The indicator has customizable filters for a more precise search for the required values.
