Overview

Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) applies a Hann window over a fixed window of 32, 64, or 128 bars, keeps only the chosen number of lowest-frequency harmonics, and adds their inverse contribution to the DC component. The window size changes frequency resolution, while the harmonic count changes smoothness. It plots the reconstructed value on the price chart. It does not generate trade signals or manage risk.
