Hi mate
I myself use 10 and 25 ema, but in addition you can use the macd, rsi, par sar etc
I've tried 5 but it is very suseptable to whipsaws, meaning if theres a movement down from a uptrend the 5 ema will pick it up quickly, even though it may not really be a change in the trend.
Play around with them until you find a combination that your happy with, alos get a practise account and back test it, most of the charting packages hold history, so go back and then run it forwards candle by candle and see if it works for you.
