Tillson Vector is an advanced momentum and trend-direction oscillator built around a refined Tillson T3 smoothing engine. It is designed to reveal not only trend direction, but also trend strength, acceleration, and exhaustion, making it especially useful in fast-changing market conditions.
Unlike traditional moving averages, Tillson Vector uses multi-stage smoothing to significantly reduce noise while remaining highly responsive. The main T3 line dynamically changes color to reflect shifts in momentum quality, allowing traders to instantly distinguish between strong trends, weakening trends, and potential reversals.
The indicator operates in a separate window and features:
A color-adaptive T3 line that visually encodes momentum strength
A signal line for confirmation and crossover analysis
A zero reference level to identify bullish vs bearish regimes
Built-in alert logic allows traders to monitor key market events such as momentum shifts, confirmation crosses, and regime changes without staring at the screen. Tillson Vector is suitable for discretionary traders, algorithmic filters, and trend-following systems across all markets and timeframes.
1. Color-Based Momentum Reading
Lime → Strong bullish momentum, trend accelerating
Green → Bullish momentum, but losing strength
Maroon → Bearish momentum, but weakening
Red → Strong bearish momentum, trend accelerating
Color transitions often appear before price structure changes, making them useful for early trend assessment.
2. T3 vs Signal Line
T3 crossing above the signal line → bullish confirmation
T3 crossing below the signal line → bearish confirmation
Strongest signals occur when crossovers align with color shifts
3. Zero Line Context
Values above zero indicate bullish market bias
Values below zero indicate bearish market bias
Zero-line crosses are effective for identifying regime changes
4. Trade Filtering & Timing
Use Tillson Vector to confirm trend direction before entries
Avoid counter-trend trades when T3 remains strongly colored
Combine with price action, breakouts, or arrow indicators for precision entries
5. Alerts
Optional alerts can trigger on:
Signal line crossovers
Strong momentum color changes
Zero-line regime shifts
Alerts are designed to reduce noise and trigger only on meaningful changes
6. Best Practices
Lower periods for scalping and intraday momentum
Higher periods for swing and trend-following strategies
Works best as a trend confirmation and momentum filter, not a standalone entry tool
Tillson Vector answers a critical question with clarity:
Is the trend merely moving — or is momentum truly committed?
