Periodicity Tool-Bar Menu on Energy Software

Periodicity just means chart time-frames, in MT4 this toolbar is used to select which chart time-frames to trade with.

The time frames listed are:

1. 1 Minute - M1
2. 5 Min - M5
3. 15 Minute - M15
4. 30 Minutes - M30
5. 1 Hour - H1
6. 4 Hours - H4
7. Daily - D1
8. Weekly - W1
9. Monthly - MN

As a trader you only require to trade with only about 3 chart timeframes, for example let's say a trader only requires the 15 min, the 1 hour and the 4 hours time-frame, then on the periodicity toolbar a trader can hide all the others that are not required using the following method.
