Sure, here´s the modified TMO code i use with AlertDisplace added if you only want the alert to trigger after candle has closed. Remember to
uncheck all the boxes in plot settings as well.

Code:
#True (M)omentum (O)scilator)
# Mobius
# V01.05.2018
# hint: TMO calculates momentum using the delta of price. Giving a much better picture of trend, tend reversals and divergence than momentum oscillators using price.

#declare Lower;

                   else if c < getValue(o, i)
                        then - 1
                        else 0);

Thank you very much for this; it looks great! I read through the past posts, but don't understand how I can create a Scan based on this idea. I got the grey "ok" button that someone mentioned before, and you told them only 1 item can be TRUE. I commented out 3 of the 4, but get no results when I run the Scan. I'm new to TOS scans and scripts, so any help is very appreciated!

I've been trying to get this SCAN to work on longer times frames for days now, I think I figured it out. In order for the SCAN to work on daily timeframes, I had to change the SCAN length to 100 to 400 .

On the actual Daily Chart of the Ticker, the study has 799 as the length but for the SCAN, it had to be 100 to 400 for me.

I copied the code and saved it as a new study. Then went to the scanner and used it. Seems to be working for me. I was scanning on 1m TF, higher TF's may be more difficult to catch.
Cos251, As usual, I'm late to the party, but I've been able to get the Triple Exhaustion indicator to work in my charts and love what I'm seeing But like you (initially anyway), I am unable to get it to work as a scan.
Can you go into a little more detail on how you made it work?
I copied the "script" into the "Thinkscript Editor" in the Scan tab, but the results I get don't show any candidates with the Buy arrow. I'm using a 1 year by the day chart, and the only other scan limiter is a stock price > $5.

Change the length to 400
 
Check to see if all criteria was coded as you indicated. Hopefully this is what you were looking for.

Stocks rallied hard into the close and finished at their highs on the day. Looks like a short term bottom. It seemed like more than end-of-week short covering in a bear phase. Apple certainly helped the psychology.

421 stocks were up > 4%..... and I filtered the scan.... I didn't want many choices only the strongest and some very nice patterns... TQQQ

I use this study as a multi time frame system. For NQ I use 750, 2000 and 5000 volume charts (TOS doesn't have volume bars I don't believe so tick charts will be the closest you can get) and for ES I use 2000, 5000 and 10000 volume charts.

The highlighted vertical colored regions are the highest time frame, the colored bars are the middle time frame, and the dots are the lower time frame. The size and length of the triangles also correspond to the time frame.

Can you share code to make these vertical clouds?

These vertical shaded regions are from the Sierra chart version of the study. They are simply the signal at a higher time. They are no different from the TOS version and can be changed to any signal that TOS is capable of displaying.
 
With the paint feature on I get grey candles for most of the time, but sometimes there's red & green candles. What's the sginiciance of those colored candles?

Colored candles mean the triple overbought/oversold condition is present. Arrows are when it releases.
