Hello Everyone,

I am developing my EA in Metatrader 5 and have an error in strategy tester in the line:

iMACD_Handle=iMACD("USDJPY",PERIOD_H1,20,60,6,PRICE_CLOSE);

The strateg tester show the error:

cannot load indicator 'MACD' [4805]

Error= 4805 Error applying an indicator to chart

iMACD_Handle=INVALID_HANDLE, USDJPY/H1,

The strategy tester can load indicator MACD in Periods: M1, M5, M15 and M30,

but cannot load indicator MACD in Periods: H1, H2, H3, H4, H6, H8, H12, D1.

The strategy tester visualization only show the charts for periods: M1, M5, M15 and M30.

Can you help me to solve the problem?
