GMMs assume data points are generated from a mixture of Gaussian distributions with unknown parameters. This unsupervised learning algorithm captures the structure of complex data sets, making it ideal for trading. The GMM clustering indicator detects patterns in price movements, helping traders adjust strategies based on market conditions. It’s useful in analyzing markets with different underlying processes, each with its distribution.
This product may use a large amount of computer memory to run complex calculations.
A Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is a probabilistic framework that posits data points as being produced by a combination of multiple Gaussian distributions, each with unknown parameters. This method is especially advantageous in finance, where data frequently display varied and overlapping distributions.
