I generally prefer odd numbers because the middle value, 11 in your case, is
the exact mid point. If you were to use a cycle length of 20, the midpoint
would be 10.5 (equal number of values - bars - above and below the mid
point) and you would then have to fudge by adding or subtracting 0.5 to
reach the nearest whole integer. (Note that using 10 as the "mid point" for
20 gives 9 bars below and 10 bars above, not symmetrical.)
