   ma5=iMA(NULL,PERIOD_H1,5,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
   maxp13=iMA(NULL,PERIOD_H1,13,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
   maxp21=iMA(NULL,PERIOD_H1,21,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
   adx=iADX(NULL,PERIOD_H1,14,PRICE_CLOSE,0,0);

GetLastError after first indicator call (ma5=...)
it may be 4066. it may be no data when initialization. there are no reasons to call indicators in the init function

1). Try using 60 instead of PERIOD_H1.
2). Put that code in the start() function instead of inside the init() function.
