You can use both, maybe it would be too many lines on the chart
The sma is exactly as it says, just a closing price divided by the number of days. The issue with sma is it's quite delayed, and lagging behind the current action.
The ema has more emphasis in it's calculation on the current price action. I don't remember exactly how it's calculated tbh.
This means it has less delay in it's movement and i think most Analyst prefer to use it. I prefer ema as well on my charts.
hope that's helpful.
