Я недавно присоединился к платформе MQL5 в качестве фрилансера, поэтому у меня еще не так много отзывов и завершенных проектов. С другой стороны, я программист с более чем 15-летним опытом работы на C#, C++, Python, JS, Pascal, Lua, MQL, Visual Basic, 1C, X++, ABAP и других языках. - Версия: 1.0

SessionMA is a specialized Moving Average (MA) indicator for MetaTrader 5 that calculates the MA only on bars that fall within a specified session time window. Unlike standard MA indicators that calculate across all available bars, SessionMA filters calculations to include only the data points that occur during your defined trading session.
This indicator is particularly useful for:
- Session-based trading strategies
- Analyzing market behavior during specific time periods
- Reducing noise from irrelevant trading hours
- Making calculations over long periods while focusing only on specific trading sessions
The indicator displays as a line on the chart, showing the MA value only during the specified session hours.

Usage Tips
- For trading specific market sessions (e.g., London, New York, Tokyo), set the session hours to match the official market hours
- When analyzing long-term trends within specific hours, set a larger MA period and disable the "Session Only Intraday" option
- For day trading strategies, enable the "Session Only Intraday" option to focus only on the current day's session data
- The indicator works best on timeframes that provide sufficient data points within your session window (e.g., M1-H1)
