I'm using BigCharts and like it, but it seems I can't set it to show 200 day moving averages and 50 day moving averages - however...I can't claim I have exhausted my search of options at the site, for example, there are different possibilities like "EMA" - "EMA 2 line" "EMA 3 line" and "SMA" and so on and I don't know what all these alternatives mean - maybe they are key to the 200/50 MA..? If not - is there a free site that allows me to do most everything, candlesticks, stochastics, MACD and the above..? Thanks in advance for any illumination.

on Bigcharts you don't necessarily need to use 20/40/50/200 MA's... i personally use 20/40/60 day MA's (I use SMA- 3 line and put 20 to get these)... as for indicators other then MA's i use RSI,OBV and volume... and make it into Candlestick charts using the BIG option at the bottom... hope this helps...

Thanks both - reason I wanted to check the 50/200 combination is that it has been mentioned as a potentially 'strong" indicator sometimes - for example, when the 50 day MA makes a bearish crossover the 200 MA, that has been called the 'cross of death" or something like that and the opposite has a similarly bullish name - I wanted to check for myself.. - And if I think it's "powerful" I might want to have it always, i don't know....right now I use MACD - default at 12/26 and fast stochastics, "all events" candlesticks.... Thanks bdgee - I am aware of stockcharts.com but always thought of it as a for pay site, but some is free I think I know...now I'll check it out....!

the ideal situation is to have all 3 MA's lined up 20 day on the upper level, 40 in the middle and 60 afterwards.. rarely and i do mean rarely does 60 day ever go as low as 200 ... what u want is that perfect alignment with the other 3 with the stock trading above all 3.. because it uses the MA's as support... another ideal trading situation is when the 20 day average is about to or has cross over the 60 day MA.. that is bullish... anyways check out NT for a example of either or..

bdgee - Perfect! That's what I asked for - beautiful...I could even set it to show slightly larger chart
Machiavelli - I will have to "digest" your information a bit - I sense what you are trying to communicate to me, but it is still somewhat shrouded... What I am after in general is of course a powerful way to confidently identify turning points - bullish or bearish - and then act on that. A combination of MACD and fast stochatics can do that pretty well for the short term...I want to add something even more powerful....
