Normalized Resonator

Normalized Resonator tunes a second-order digital resonator (a bandpass filter) to one cycle length and plots how that cycle swings, normalized against its own rolling peak so the oscillator keeps a consistent range. It borrows the central premise of dominant cycle measurement: price carries identifiable rhythms, and a filter aimed at one of them can read cleaner than aggregate momentum.

How to Trade the Normalized Resonator?

• Bullish label (▲): the oscillator crosses above its signal line while below the oversold threshold, a stretched cycle turning up.
• Bearish label (▼): a cross below the signal line while above overbought marks cyclical exhaustion at the highs.
• Zero line bias: sustained readings above zero define a bullish cycle phase, below zero a bearish one, with distance from zero gauging cyclical momentum.
• With the trend: in an uptrend, favor bullish crossovers near oversold; in a downtrend, take the mirror-image setups.

Normalization is what keeps those thresholds honest. Raw bandpass output swells and shrinks with volatility, so the indicator divides by the highest absolute peak over a rolling window, compressing the line into a stable band whose scale holds steady across markets.

Normalized Resonator Settings

• Center Period: the cycle length, in bars, that the filter isolates.
• Bandwidth: filter selectivity: low values (0.1–0.3) isolate one narrow cycle with cleaner but slower output; higher values (0.5–0.8) admit nearby frequencies and react faster.
• Lookback Multiplier: sizes the normalization window relative to the Center Period.
• Signal Line Period: EMA length for the crossover line.
• Overbought / Oversold Levels: the extremes a reversal label requires.
• Signal Size: visual size of the ▲ and ▼ labels.
