Using a Sigmoid-Normalized T3 Oscillator to Assess Extremes

Summary

This brief indicator description presents T3, a smoothed price filter, transformed with sigmoid (softmax) normalization into an oscillator bounded between zero and one. It frames the indicator as one possible tool for judging when a filter or average may have reached an extreme. It also mentions hyperbolic normalization as an alternative that produces values between negative one and positive one.

The document offers no formula, parameter settings, chart examples, trading rules, or performance evidence. It does not explain how to interpret specific oscillator readings or validate signals, so the normalization ranges alone are not a complete method for identifying turning points. Traders would need to define and test their own thresholds and account for the possibility that an extreme reading persists while prices continue moving.

Key ideas

• The indicator applies sigmoid normalization to T3 and expresses its output on a zero-to-one scale.
• An alternative hyperbolic normalization is described with a range from negative one to positive one.
• The stated use is to help assess whether a filter or moving average has reached an extreme.
• The document provides no formula, signal thresholds, examples, or evidence of trading performance.
