Using Technical Analysis to Trade Gold： For the short term, technicians may use a 10-day moving average. A 10-day moving average is two weeks. Technicians would enter into a position when prices cross above the MA line. The 50-day MA is equivalent to six weeks for medium-term time frames. The 10-day MA will make sure you get in, and the 50-day MA can help you add to your positions. For long-term trends, a 200-day moving average is normally used. A moving average's length should be set at about one half of the period of the oscillation you are trying to take advantage of.  [2009] - James DiGeorgia
