Bart, It depends what you are doing with the averages. EMA's tend to weight the most recent data more heavily, that is why they tend to turn more quickly when a change in the trend occurs. If you are using line crosses of averages to give you a buy or sell signal I would usually use the EMA. But for support or resistance levels most people tend to use the SMA. The idea is that the EMA's is supposed to be more sensitive so they should get you into and out of a stock earlier than the SMA's. I believe there was an article in the Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine that covered the subject a few months ago. You should be able to look up the issue at this site: traders.com. Harry
