A long time ago I read that standard time periods for indicators worked for
a while because many people were using them. Smarter people used these
numbers to place their trades and confound the majority.

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.
