How do I set up the period values of my moving averages when trying to trade crossovers on time-frames H1,H4 and D1

I would look for more reliable entry signals than MA cross-overs.

Do you mean on your broker’s platform?
Or do you mean how to choose how many candles to include in the average?
The higher the chart the better the signals. Daily is best. I would use the 20 & 50 EMA - the 50 being key for mainly US traders.
But, IMO, you should backtest it for at least three years because no crossover pairs are reliable. By far the best is swing trading the weekly/monthly charts with a 20EMA in that order flow tends to always return to that price line whether it was previously bullish or bearish.
