Are you using trunk? This pattern works for me

var_dump(trader_t3(get_data("high", $data1)));

with the data and function from
tests/inc/data.php
tests/inc/func.php

As well when i pass a time period.

Please give more info on how you run it, how much data, which time period.

Yes I am using the trunk. Here is a sample of the data I am passing.

$settings['period'] = 20;

$data = trader_t3($close, $settings['period']);

// This is set before the function but placed below for readability 
$close = Array ( [0] => 568.1 [1] => 589.58 [2] => 585.56 [3] => 585.57 [4] => 
601.1 [5] => 605.96 [6] => 602.5 [7] => 599.34 [8] => 596.05 [9] => 606.98 [10]

Looks like what you expierience is due to the too high time period. T3 is one of 
the indexes sensitive to the so called "unstable period". Please take a look at 
this page http://www.ta-lib.org/d_api/ta_setunstableperiod.html . Also looking 
at 
the TA-Lib itself here http://lxr.php.net/xref/PECL/trader/ta-
lib/src/ta_func/ta_T3.c#241 the needed lookback is calculated as 6 * 
(optInTimePeriod - 1), in case of time period being 20 it were 114 which is way 
too high above count($close).

Valid possibilities i see here is to give more data or decrease the time period.  

Another way would be to set the unstable period factor to a negative enough 
number (trunk only now), but that would be identical to decreasing the time 
period.

This is completely undocumented now, you can use 

trader_set_unstable_period(int functionId, int timePeriod)

Use TRADER_FUNC_UNST_T3 as function id or look here for possible others ids

Superb. Thank you for providing such a great explanation. I pulled in more data 
and everything works well.

thanks,
