Hi! I saw it's possible to get the OHLC of the month using the enum time frame, is the same possible with a yearly time frame? Thank you

Hello everyone, I’ve noticed that in the standard MQL5 library ( Expert.mqh ), the CExpert class (derived from CExpertBase ) implements its own Init() method without calling the parent class’s CExpertBase::Init() . This seems unusual because: Inheritance Principle : Child classes typically call
