Lets be honest, most indicators are nothing but mothing averages. Now if you were asked to choose 1-2 moving average and thats all.

what would you choose?

I will start.

I will choose Simple Moving Average (1) and Simple Moving average (1440) both applied on 1 min time frame chart.

As markets moving all the time I will keep with the flow. I using SMA 20, 10 and 5.
Higher numbers are often used to reduce the noice but means not respecting the flow.

I trade natural gas and 50 and 200 EMA are most important MAs. Also, personally I like Zero lag MA rainbow too. I tried many MA rainbows (mutiple MAs) but zero lag MA rainbow is the best.

It tells you whether the current price is above or below (or at) the daily average...

50 e 200ma.
H1 > 50 = M15 = 200ma
H1 > 200 = H4 = 50ma
H1 > 200 = D1 = 8ma
M5 > 200 = H1 20ma
M15 > 50 = H1 14 (+/-)

I'm terribly sorry my friend, but ... You are so happy that AVERAGE price hit price, so... may be you have to study math just a little?
I have a holy grail information for you: you can draw ANY movingaverage with ANY length. And the price will ALWAYS cross it.
Magic!!!

As I said Ryan,I just like those on my chart, OP asked which one we like, but when compared only with a candlestick or line does not matter to me, just fits my style, and they do not have so major role either,i do not watch cross of them...
