Both will vary according to market environment. My 13,34,89 might have a average trade of 6 months at the begining of an uptrend and may move to a 6 week average at the upper levels of the cycle.

When you begin testing different indicators/systems, you will see the average trade times, you should look at a number of stocks in all phases of their life cycles. From this you will get an idea of what is appropriate for you.

The important thing is KNOW YOURSELF. If you have bought into the "trader" or "position trader" or "investor" style, you will have to find systems that mirror your style. In general, I believe Dahl, MACD(13,34,89), 89 time series MA are safe (as safe can be) indicators for the average person. As their experience grows, they will look for honing their systems to match their mindset.

MSWIN has one of the best help files in the business and a very good manual; you have a great deal of reading and study to do.
