Tillson T3 Moving Average (improved)

T3 Moving Average – Advanced Smoothing for Trend Analysis

Overview
The Tillson T3 Moving Average (T3 MA) is a superior smoothing moving average that reduces lag while maintaining responsiveness to price changes. Unlike traditional moving averages such as SMA, EMA, or WMA, the T3 applies multiple levels of smoothing, making it more adaptive to market conditions.

How It Works
The T3 MA is an exponentially smoothed moving average with a factor that controls the level of smoothing. This multi-layered smoothing process allows it to:
✅ React faster than a standard EMA while still filtering out market noise.
✅ Smooth out price fluctuations better than SMA or WMA, reducing false signals.
✅ Reduce lag compared to traditional moving averages, making it useful for both trend identification and entry/exit decisions.

How to Use This Script
🔹 Trend Identification – Use T3 MA as a dynamic trend filter. Price above T3 signals an uptrend, while price below signals a downtrend.
🔹 Direction Signal – The direction of the T3 MA (i.e. sloping upwards or downwards) can itself be used as a signal. The script allows the MA line to be colored, so it's easier to spot.
🔹 Crossover Signals – Combine T3 with another moving average (e.g., a shorter T3 or EMA, SMA, etc.) to generate trade signals when they cross.
🔹 Support & Resistance – The T3 can act as dynamic support and resistance in trending markets.

Features of This Script
✅ Custom Source Selection – Apply T3 not just to price, but also to any indicator (e.g., RSI, volume, etc.).
✅ Customizable Length & Smoothing – Adjust how smooth and responsive the T3 MA is.
✅ Optional Color Changes – The T3 MA can dynamically change color based on trend direction, making it easier to read.
✅ Versatile for Any Strategy – Works well in trend-following, mean-reversion, and breakout trading systems.

This script is ideal for traders looking for a smoother, more adaptive moving average that reduces noise while remaining reactive to price action. 🚀
