%%Yup ... IBD use the 40 weeks.
30 ... 40 ... 50 is mostly the same.
Ahaha I can't keep up with messy charts neither,
3 moving averages is way too much for my tastes.
That's why monthly charts are the best !
Volume, 10 SMA and price action.
Red Green is long gone

O'Neil was only using the 10 on the weekly.
But Weinstein came with the 30 weeks.
Many use the 10, 30 on the weekly.
Personally I use the 40 as it mimic better the 10 months.

MOnthly candles are the most fun to read;
but 200 month average on SPY requires 200 months of SPY to give any kind of signal\LOL


I just emailed WSJ to bring back red + green candle charts;
black + grey charts are a strain. Even though all newspapers used to use that cheap ink.
Blue, red, green candle charts with purple50dma........ are still enjoyed.
WSJ has a cute marketing trick, they use green DOW + grey + black NQ/SPY line charts
