Periodicity Toolbar Menu for Gold Charts- Chart Time Frames on MT5
Periodicity just means chart time frames, in MT5 this toolbar is used to select which chart time-frames to trade with.
The time frames listed are:
- 1 Min - M1
- 5 Minute - M5
- 15 Min - M15
- 30 Min - M30
- 1 H - H1
- 4 Hours - H4
- Daily - D1
- Weekly - W1
- Monthly - MN
