The SMA or EMA is used to remove the noise so that we get a smooth flow. When we are using 10 minute Timeframe and if we use 3 period EMA then basically we are taking 30 minute average. if you use 7 period EMA/SMA then you will basically have 70 minute average with less noise. So basically in my opinion and observation in trending days you can use 7 period EMA. In days where it is rangebound like today you can use 3.5 as the EMA.
Ideally 7 period is good most of the times. When you don't get any Pivot (when it is less noisy) go for a shorter Period like 3.5. In hourly or daily I would actually go for 1.5 or 2 because there would not be any noise in hourly or daily charts. So remember EMA/SMA is used to cut noises. In 5 minute charts better use 14 period because the noise is maximum in 5 minute. I normally do not prefer 5 minute TF to trade.
Raj,
In order to calculate SMA,we are using 3 period SMA on a 10 min chart and those 3 periods are from 12:50 to 13:10.My question is why we took this time frame and secondly if we were to calculate SMA on hourly chart how many periods we need to take and what should be start and end period.Since you have already calculated SMA on hourly charts will appreciate if you can assist me in providing data points for calculation perspective.
