In the trend, or in cash. Nothing to interpret.
Vektor's answer is binary: it is either holding the trend or holding nothing. Everything it draws on the chart exists to make that state — and your exit — visible at a glance.
Two states. Most days, it's flat.
Price has broken out and the trend is confirmed. Vektor is in, with its exit line already on the chart below price. It stays long until price closes back through that line.
No confirmed trend, so Vektor holds nothing. Cash is a position — it is how the system sits out chop and crashes. Most days are flat, and that is deliberate.
Three marks. Each one earns its place.

R is your unit. Not dollars, not percent.
One idea makes every Vektor number legible: R, the initial risk on a trade.
What R means
R is the distance from your entry to the initial exit line — the amount the trade loses if it stops out immediately. A trade that runs to twice that distance is “up 2R”; a full stop-out is “−1R”. Because Vektor sizes every position off this distance, −1R costs the same fraction of your account on every trade, calm market or wild one.
Where you meet R in Vektor
The optional protective layers in the settings are set in R: the breakeven lock arms once a trade is up a chosen R multiple (so a green trade can no longer close red), and the profit lock tightens the trail after a bigger run measured in R. The benchmark table's “avg win / avg loss” row is the same idea across the whole history.
The chart explains itself.
Two small on-chart tables keep the live state and the benchmark in view.
