Sentinel Tillson T3 — 6-pole T3 smoother (Sentinel smoother building block) | Version v1.0.0
File: SentinelTillsonT3_v1_0_0.cs | namespace …Indicators.Sentinel.Smoothers | display "Sentinel TillsonT3"
⚠ NO ORDERS · NO STATE SEAM — a read-only SMOOTHER building block, not a Council voter. It draws a
smoothed line + a Sentinel glass card; it publishes nothing (a moving average has no verdict). A baseline
the signal tools can consume, and a Sentinel-branded T3 in its own right.
PROVENANCE / LICENSE: CLEAN-ROOM. The algorithm (Tim Tillson's T3 — a 6-pole cascade of exponential
moving averages combined with a volume-factor weighting) was IDENTIFIED from a GPL-3.0 LizardIndicators
source (amaTillsonT3.cs), but NO GPL code was used — this is reimplemented FRESH from the canonical public
formula (Tillson, "Smoothing Techniques for More Accurate Signals", TASC Jan 1998), a mathematical method
which is not copyrightable. No third-party code, variable names, or structure were copied.
ASSUMPTIONS: implements the standard "Tillson" mode (all six EMAs use lookback = Period; α = 2/(Period+1)).
The source's optional "Fulks-Matulich" period-rescale mode + its CalcMode enum are intentionally omitted
(Sentinel prefers plain params over new enums). Early bars are seeded from the input value.
CHANGELOG
v1.0.0 (2026-07-12) — clean-room Tillson T3 (6 cascaded EMAs + volume-factor combination) + Sentinel
plumbing (naming law, glass card, label remover). Member of …Indicators.Sentinel.Smoothers.
