In my experience.
There is no ideal setting, out there.
The parameters vary depending on several variables.
Time Frame is just one of them.
Others are currency pair, Volatility, Wave length, and others.
Experience and testing various combinations helps.

The ideal period for moving average is determined using the following formula
Ideal Moving Average Length = (Cycle Length / 2) + 1
