If you are interested in all my charts I use the 9, 20 and 33 day ema in conjunction with the 50 and 200sma and finally the 200ema.
Everyone I guess has their favourites, but I have found the 9 ema to be a great support / indicator of a stocks strength / weakness especially on breakout stocks which then pullback on low vol to the 9 ema usually signalling further upward move. I track the 20ema as this also supports well if pullbacks don't respect the 9 day. The 33ema is a good mid range support area guide.
The 50 sma is quite a key longer term average and comes into play a lot especially on large pullbacks and signifying resistance.
Finally I have the 200sma and the 200ema I use both as a cross ref as volatile stocks can have a big difference between these 2 points. Either of the 200 can give great entry points on downturning stocks and also gives great indication on resistance on beaten up stocks which are breaking out. E.G I have seen many time a breakout which will go through the resistance of 200 sma and stop / pause at the 200ema, so if ai didn't track both I'd be missing a key tool for entry / exits risks.
Well enough of that, hope it's of interest.

That is on daily or weekly charts by the way.
Intraday I use 5 min charts with 9ema ann 200ema
I use the ema 200/50/25 just for benchmarking ;)
great topic. Have you ever heard of moving average ribbons? Here is an example. When the avg expand it shows a trend, contract consolidation. Makes the chart look aive and breathing almost. Lots to see.
