I'm trying to determine the value of using MAs other than the standard 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 bars. Many veteran TAers seem to prefer time frames like 8, 13,21, 34, 40, 89 bars. What is the logic behind using these kind of ma time frames in determining areas of special price sensitivities? If most money managers and investors are using the big round numbers 20, 50, etc wouldn't those ma be of greater significance? Or are the odd ball numbers meant to lead the round numbers by a little such as the 8 bar being just a tiny more sensitive than the 10 bar.. but the 21 would then lag the 20 by the smallest amount.

I guess what I'm asking is what is the logic behind fine tuning the standard mas and how is this fine tuning away from the round numbers useful?
