Ed,

This is a basic explanation on moving averages.

iqc.com

It tends to be a trend following technical trading system that
will capture a good portion of the move when a stock is trending.
It is not so great when a stock is stuck in a range. You need an oscillator for that kind of environment.

The choice of averages to use is up to you, but 5 and 20 is popular
choice.
