Periodicity Toolbar Menu on Stocks Trading Software

Periodicity just means chart timeframes, in MT5 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
