Periodicity Toolbar Menu on Trading Software

Periodicity just means timeframes, in MT4 this tool bar is used to choose which time-frames to trade with.

The time-frame listed are:

1. 1 Min - M1
2. 5 Min - M5
3. 15 Min - M15
4. 30 Minutes - M30
5. 1H - 1H
6. 4 Hour - H4
7. Daily - D1
8. Weekly - W1
9. Monthly - MN

As a stock index trader you only require to trade with only about 3 chart time frames, for example let's say a indices trader only requires the 15 minute, the 1 hour and the 4 hours timeframe, then on the periodicity toolbar a trader can hide all the others which are not required using the following method.
