Gold Trading Chart Timeframes in MT4 Platform
Periodicity just means chart time frames, in MT4 this toolbar is used to select which chart time frames to trade with.
The timeframes 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
