Though I do not want to add to any confusion about uses for TMO, I liked the indicator and wanted to compare it's behavior directly with RSI. I felt together they might add to scalping a (1 minute) set up that needs quick decisions. This indicator may add something to the decision process with a quick glance. Below is a chart with the indicator in the lower panel.
The chart is a 1 minute chart I scalped Friday for a high average daily range stock (use several different stocks for this type of scalping). The chart has explanations for what is on the chart. The indicator is the TMO in yellow, and RSI candles in Cyan, on a normalized scale. The are both using the close as the data set, both are set to 5 as the number of data points, and both are smoothed by a Wilders Average, TMO 5 and RSI 2. I like the way this indicator adds to the decision whether I am going to place a short or long bet for a scalp at a pullback area. And in the 2 instances on the chart it only took a quick glance to confirm which choice. I share the indicator if any one wants to fool around with it.
Shout out to @BenTen for the TMO posting. @markos for contributions and @germanburrito for the idea to use RSI candles. If BenTen feels this post should be moved to another thread, my feelings won't be hurt.
