Tillson Vector

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.

How to Use

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?
