There you have it. I think the results are quite clear. If you are trading an Ema crossover system for Eur.Usd then stick with the longer timeframes. 1day candlesticks with Ema 20/200 is the one found here to return the best results.
This moves me onto MACD, I know a lot of people use this indicator - so I'll be running some tests on MACD zero crossings next week.
