Periodicity Toolbar Menu on Bitcoin Platform
Periodicity just means timeframes, in MetaTrader 4 this tool-bar is used to choose which 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
