# "Moneyball" Oscillator

The Moneyball is a complex trading indicator that's **not just a simple oscillator or RSI**. It uses sophisticated mathematical formulas and arrays to:

* Identify chop zones in price action
* Look for specific price movements and breakouts
* Combine momentum and level analysis
