Peer clustering
In plain English
When several investors trade the same stock around the same time, that's a 'peer cluster.' On its own it doesn't tell you why — but it's a pattern worth noticing.
Formal definition
An analytical signal flagging 3+ distinct investors in the visible disclosure universe initiating positions in the same ticker within a 7-day band. Used as a descriptive observation, not a predictive indicator. Trade Lens surfaces peer clustering as a 'questions to investigate' prompt rather than a recommendation.
Example
If three different Senators all bought NVIDIA in the same week, that's a peer cluster. It could mean they share a research source, a committee briefing, or just the same news headline — Trade Lens names the pattern but doesn't speculate.
