Periodicity Toolbar Menu on Bitcoin 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 Minute - M1
- 5 Min - M5
- 15 Minutes - M15
- 30 Minutes - M30
- 1 Hour - H1
- 4 Hours - H4
- Daily - D1
- Weekly - W1
- 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 time frame, then on the periodicity toolbar a trader can hide all the others that are not required using the following technique.
