Combination of the 2 MA is the most basic and easy to use indicator.
However, the accuracy of the analysis results is still not good.

Moving average, how to use it by following the average line of the indicator, is called a flexible indicator because it is easy to combine with other indicators such as bollinger bands (BBMA)

The most important part for the moving average indicator is understanding how to make the most suitable settings for us, it doesn't matter if it is combined with other indicators, the important thing is that we know how to use it.

Moving Average (MA) is the simplest compared to other technical indicators, usually calculated from the sum of the closing prices in a certain period. 
MA also has types of EMA and SMA. which I often use EMA 8 with EMA 21

applying and reading the MA indicator is quite easy but we need to adjust it to the time frame we use so that we can set the period.

The basic use of moving averages is determined based on the information you want to get, the average market movement can be obtained with a moving average, from this data it can be taken as a decision to open an order.

Moving Average indicator is very simple, good to use, especially for new traders who don't really understand other indicators which are quite difficult, the basics are easy for MA to only pay attention to MA line movement to see a trend that is happening.

Various ways to use the MA indicator because it varies greatly, it is easier to use too. A good MA is an MA that we use and understand more deeply.

Reading and using the MA indicator is very easy, only a few times using it, we will understand how it works.
what is difficult for that indicator is how to find the ideal position, because usually the candle market is always deceiving and makes us doubt.

Trading by making crosses between two moving average is indeed a lot of use by traders, who are beginners or professionals, because it is indeed quite easy and simple but quite powerful too

As far as I know, this moving average is mostly used to read a trend, so we can trade following the direction of the trend that is formed from the moving average indicator
