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 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 MT5 toolbar a trader can hide all the others which are not required using the following method.
