Frequently Asked Questions

ta.mode() estimates the most frequently occurring value in the rolling window (after na removal), highlighting where price has clustered.

Mode counts exact source values in the sampled bars, not nearby price bins or traded volume. With many distinct closes, the tie rule can determine the result; it is not evidence that a level will attract or stop price.

Pine returns the smallest value among values tied for the highest frequency. If every observation occurs once, the smallest value wins; that does not establish a meaningful price cluster.
