| Property | Value |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **Category** | Numeric |
| **Inputs** | Source (close) |
| **Parameters** | `mu` (default 0.0), `sigma` (default 1.0), `period` (default 14) |

- Parameterized by `mu` (default 0.0), `sigma` (default 1.0), `period` (default 14).
- Output range: Varies (see docs).
- Requires `period` bars of warmup before first valid output (IsHot = true).
- Validated against TA-Lib, Skender, and Tulip reference implementations where available.
The Log-Normal Distribution CDF transforms a min-max normalized price into the cumulative distribution function of the log-normal distribution, producing an output in $[0, 1]$. A random variable $X$ is log-normally distributed when $\ln(X)$ follows a normal distribution. This makes the log-normal CDF natural for financial data, where multiplicative returns (log-returns) are approximately normally distributed. The indicator min-max normalizes the source to $(0, 1]$, takes the natural logarithm, standardizes by parameters $\mu$ and $\sigma$, then evaluates the standard normal CDF. The result emphasizes values near the bottom of the recent range (where the logarithm diverges) and compresses values near the top.
