The program checks data files availability and disables selection of those are missing.
On your screenshot we may see that GBPUSD and USDJPY as well as H4 button are enabled (black).
That means that you have at least once looked at GBP/USD and USD/JPY four-hour charts and the files GBPUSD240.hst and USDJPY240.hst been created in data folder.



Run Metatrader and inspect a data folder for other files availability.
For instance, EUR/USD daily file has name EURUSD1440.hst (1440 minutes in 24 hours, one day).

If you don't know where this folder is, read Get path to Metatrader data historical files topic.
