It's purely related to personal preference.
I often use 21 periods, as this covers an average month's trading
period (252 yearly trading periods / 12 months).
1 week: 5 periods
1 month: 21 periods
3 months: 63 periods
6 months: 126 periods
1 year: 252 periods (assuming 8 market holidays per year)
200 periods is often popular with some fund managers. A 200-period
SMA is considered cutting edge technology by these wizards. ;)
