Periodicity Toolbar Menu on Indices Trading Platform

Periodicity just means chart timeframes, 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
