Oh, something I forgot to mention that you can play with:
For an N-bar moving average, shift the MA to the left
N-bars.  This works best with short MAs, because of course
once you move it to the left N-bars, then you won't
have a curve for the latest N-days.

For example, if you are looking at a 5-day EMA,
try moving the 5-day EMA to the left 5 days.
Then you could plot a 9-day *un-shifted* EMA
on top... I've used this technique a bit and
it helps to avoid whipsaws.
