Periodicity Toolbar Menu on Indices Trading Software

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

The time frames listed are:

1. 1 Min - M1
2. 5 Minute - 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 examples 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 method.
