Chart Time Frames on MT4

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

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