Generally I don't use them.... except to help me make sure the chart is right side up...

simple cross moving averages are pretty nice and easy to trade(check out peterfm thread)... I use moving averages to see market speed and general trend

I use 3 MA's to determine phase of the market.
62EMA, 200 SMA, and 800 SMA

One phase is ideal for breakouts (bull or bear).
Another phase is ideal for divergence.
And, another phase is confused.

I love simple moving average the way they are thaught by HECTOR. HIS 3 SMA SYSTEM work really well, but only in trending markets,30,50,100 SMA
determine the trend once all 3 lines up parallel to each other ,take retracements of the 30 or 50 sma. I use a modify version,13,30,50 the same way.What I have notice is that before all 3 sma lines get parallel the market tends to consolidate,is with in this consolidating period you get these hugh momentum brake outs.Once the 13,30,50 sma cluster together I wait for the momentum brake out,either a bullish or bearish engulfing candle or any strong candle signal before I take entry.Note it is very important to read pure price action around any moving average,because price will always move before any average or indicator. Good hunting !
