Periodicity Toolbar Menu on Oil Trading Software

Periodicity just means chart timeframes, in MT5 this toolbar is used to select which chart time-frames to trade with.

The timeframes 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 Three chart time-frames, for example let's say a trader only requires the 15 minute, the 1 hour and the 4 hours time frame, then on the periodicity MT5 toolbar a trader can hide all the others which are not required using the following technique.
