That's the case today. But back pre-computer, they used 20, 50, 200, etc.
to make the math quick and simple. Imagine computing two or three moving
averages by hand for a hundred stocks and hand plotting them.

Then there are those that lean towards the Fib Sequence numbers:
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, etc
I know people that exclusively use multiples of three:
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 etc
One thing that stands out though, there are numbers that are common to
different number 'sets.' These are the ones we see most often, like 21.
