iADX not working in Strategy Tester

I have an EA that for some reason, the calculated value for the iADX indicator is always 0. It works fine in live / forward testing.

Here is the code:

//Get ADX
double ADX60 = iADX(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,14,iClose(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,0),MODE_MAIN,0);


I have confirmed it is not working by printing it to the journal. It is always 0.

Any ideas?

Try

double ADX60 = iADX(NULL, 60,14,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,0);

That did it. You think it was the Symbol()?

No. It was the reference to an array within an array. iClose replace with PRICE_CLOSE

What code do you use to print the value to the journal as that would be helpful for my troubleshooting.

Thanks,
