Chart Time Frames on MT4 Platform

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 Min - M1
2. 5 Min - M5
3. 15 Min - M15
4. 30 Min - M30
5. 1 H - 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 time frames, for example let's say a trader only requires the 15 minute, the 1 hour and the 4 hours timeframe, then on the periodicity toolbar a trader can hide all the others which are not required using the following technique.
