The Fourier Series Indicator performs the Fourier transform on the price data based on the first three harmonics extracted by the Bandpass Filter. The output data is a waveshape plot synthesized from the extracted harmonics. The recreated waveshape can help identify price cycles.
In addition to the primary waveshape plot, the Fourier Series Indicator calculates its rate of change. When the rate of change crosses the zero level, the wave could be taking a turn signifying a possible trend reversal.
