For anyone who understands machine learning and classification analysis, Mobius TMO has said to classify pivots because it is a momentum indicator. Can anyone get a better Precision and recall playing with parameters than this? According to precision and recall (I added to TMO) it performs really bad.

Tmo has an extreme amount of false positives.

What if I want to just scan the stocks on my watchlist? I have a watchlist with big boys on it (e.g. SPY, NFLX, QQQ, MSFT, NVDA, etc.) and these are the only stocks I like to trade because of contract volume. Is there a way I can utilize a scanner for just these stocks?

Hey @bigworm
You still in Oregon? Big, I haven't looked in the Archive here for quite a while but JQ's archive should be in the tutorials section.
If not mistaken, Nube did a few studies mixing TMO with Supertrend and/or RSI Laguerre. I personally would suggest that you look in the Archive for Doc's (of Theotrade) that Mobius made for them and start there. Did you ask Mobius?

there are several folks that might be able to load it up and try to trouble shoot it.
I looked at the code but it's way above my head. Regarding TMO picking up pivots, no idea. Depends on your time frame possibly?...

Please tell everyone what instruments you are trading, what time frame your pivots would be used at, etc. That would be helpful.
What have you tried so far?, etc.

Are you working on your Doctorate or Masters?
@BenTen & @MerryDay, is there anyone you know here who understands machine learning and classification analysis?

No the lounge doesn’t like that I point out things that are wrong. I’d try super trend with tmo but did you load my code?

I completed my masters. I'm not really looking for help to make it better because I don't think it can be improved. Mobius has said it approximates pivots well because it is a momentum indicator but as you can see below the precision is 14% and recall is 30%. That means 14 percent of the time when it signals a pivot its actually a pivot which is really bad. even used with other indicators this is not good.

try loading and looking at precision

How would you use TMO in a scan?

I want to scan for stocks that have been under -8 on the TMO for the last 3 -30 minutes bars.

Here's the script for TMO

declare Lower;

input length = 14;
input calcLength = 5;
input smoothLength = 3;

def o = open;
def c = close;
def data = fold i = 0 to length
with s
do s + (if c > getValue(o, i)
then 1
else if c < getValue(o, i)
then - 1
else 0);
def EMA5 = ExpAverage(data, calcLength);
plot Main = ExpAverage(EMA5, smoothLength);
plot Signal = ExpAverage(Main, smoothLength);
Main.AssignValueColor(if Main > Signal
then color.green
else color.red);
Signal.AssignValueColor(if Main > Signal
then color.green
else color.red);
Signal.HideBubble();
Signal.HideTitle();
addCloud(Main, Signal, color.green, color.red);
plot zero = if isNaN(c) then double.nan else 0;

zero.hideTitle();
plot ob = if isNaN(c) then double.nan else round(length * .7);

Hi guys/gals,

I'm trying to modify the TMO into a watchlist badge. For some reason, it doesn't seem to be lining up properly. I'd like to know whether a buy or sell has fired in the last 5 bars, as I'm combining it with another indicator for confirmation (Triple Exhaustion). Anyone see where I'm going wrong here?

Code: 
# TMO ((T)rue (M)omentum (O)scilator)

I am using the TMO
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/tmo-true-momentum-oscillator-for-thinkorswim.9413/#post-24

Is there a way to make horizonal lines at the price (like the example) when TMO is over 10 and under -10?

this is an upper study, that draws horizontal lines from the close, when the signal crosses a level.

the level 10 comes from ,
the length(14) * 0.7 = 9.8 (10)

i added an input to choose the length factor, instead of using a constant, 0.7.
input length_factor = 0.7;
