FWIW, the LONG term indicators I have followed the most, for a LOOONG time are the 13 week ema and the 50 week Sma. That might seem odd to you and I am not sure where I even go that from. I think I was playing around with ma's charts back in the 80's and noticed a tendency for them(the 13 week ema and 50 week sma)to slam into each other and bounce but when they would cross it was usually very bad news(for those going with the past trend). This has continued to work well to this day. You can see the call it made the last few years.

I never applied it to individual stocks...so far. Just never did.
