I have them set up on the same chart. I keep changing it up.

I have gone from having it with just the 20ema1 and changing the time from 1 to 3 to 5 and so on, to leaving the time frame set to 1 minute and having as many as...:

20ema1
60ema1 (20ema3 proxy)
50ema
150ema (50ema3 proxy)
200dma
1000dma (200dma5 proxy)

Not sure what works best. Sometimes I will skip QC and just use the freebie. There is something about the freebie that I think might make it a better bet. First I like the layout of it. With the indicators over to the right. Makes one become more of a tape reader to understand what is going on. Second, the scale on the freebie sometimes makes it easier to read. It is forced. With QC you either get forced or manual. The forced is different than the freebie and will be different for every user as the size of the chart varies. If you have a heavy up or down day the scale gets all hosed up and it is harder to see the action, IMO. If you go to manual, the prices can move off the screen and you have to constantly re-adjust the chart to see the current action.

So anyway...not sure I have the best answer yet as to what works for me. If I ever figure that out, will let you know! :)
