Regarding mobile trading:  Two things for me - I feel like I have proper ownership and control of my PC, but my mobile, not so much control.  The other thing - how can you see a chart properly on a mobile screen.  Really I like to sit back and have a good look zoomed in and out a bit.  I still get suckered into taking positions when perhaps I should not some times.  But with a mobile how can you get that proper look.  I'm sure it encourages impulsive trading.   The only two useful cases I can think of is if you want to get in intra-day but you have pre-planned what you wish to do and an existing order type would not cut it, or you have a position suddenly run away upwards and you want to take profits.

I do not use the app a lot, I use the desktop version on my laptop and trading view. I do like the price alerts options a lot. I have a small log of prices I like on my notes app on my phone and then if the price is hit and I am out the house it allows me to actually make a trade which is a great addition as from 10-3 nowadays I'm out and about so I can't do the trades from home.

There was a reason. But I can't remember exactly now as I set it up around 10 years ago. But I do know the McClellan Oscillator https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mcclellanoscillator.asp is made up of the 19 day EMA and the 39 day EMA of the advance decline line data. So the 10 and 30 day EMAs that I use are just a bit faster and obviously tie in with Stage Analysis.

I think with things like these you could use any combination of short and medium term MAs and the results wouldn't be much different. i.e isn't the MACD a 12 day EMA – 26 day EMA for example.
