Can't make iteration with #property strict

I have this code working without error. Basically, this code is to show value of Moving Averages on five previous bars per 5 minutes. MA's current value is omitted.

int     TrendMinDurationBar = 5,
        SlowPeriod          = 14,
        FastPeriod          = 7;

void OnTick()
{
    if ( NewBar( PERIOD_M5 ) == true ) MA( PERIOD_M5 );
}

void MA( int TF )
{
    double Slow[], Fast[];
    ArrayResize( Slow, TrendMinDurationBar + 1 );
    ArrayResize( Fast, TrendMinDurationBar + 1 );

    for (  int i = 1; i <= TrendMinDurationBar; i++ )
    {      Slow[i] = NormalizeDouble( iMA( Symbol(), TF, SlowPeriod, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_OPEN, i ), Digits );
           Fast[i] = NormalizeDouble( iMA( Symbol(), TF, FastPeriod, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_OPEN, i ), Digits );
           Alert( "DataSlow" + ( string )i + ": " + DoubleToStr( Slow[i], Digits ) );
    }
}

bool NewBar( int TF )
{
    static datetime lastbar = 0;
           datetime curbar  = iTime( Symbol(), TF, 0 );

    if (  lastbar != curbar )
    {     lastbar  = curbar; return( true );
    }
    else                     return( false );
}

When #property strict is included, the code is only working once after compiled. After new bar on M5 chart exist, it doesn't make any iteration.

What's the solution if I insist to use #property strict?

Welcome to another New-MQL4.56789 Catch-22

My candidate from Help > MQL4 Reference > Updated MQL4
is
this one ( column [New MQL4 with #property strict] )

Functions of any type should return a value

and one more to be reviewed, code simply loses the logic even for static double alternative it would be extremely inefficient under these circumstances:

Local arrays are released when exiting {} block

Works perfectly well with #property strict as an EA in MT4 Build 950.

Are you sure you are running it as EA and not as Script or Indicator?
