Rogue Tick Detector Indicator for MetaTrader 4 – Free Download [TradingFinder]

The Rogue Tick Detector indicator is designed as a monitoring tool in the MetaTrader 4 platform to analyze the incoming stream of price changes and identify any anomalies in time or price values.

This tool focuses on the structure of real-time price data, rather than analyzing trends or chart patterns, but rather evaluating price sources and micro-movement delivery patterns.

Malicious quotes usually appear when a price arrives with an invalid timestamp or when there is an unusual jump between two consecutive values. These price movements often result in large requotes or negative price slippage during order execution.

The following table lists the general characteristics of rogue tick detector indicators:

Rogue Tick Detector Indicator at a Glance

The malicious tick detector works by processing each new tick and comparing it to the last recorded valid tick.

If the price tick timestamp does not match the expected price feed time, or the price deviation exceeds the market's logical volatility threshold, the indicator flags it as a " Rogue Tick " and sounds an alert.

This mechanism can detect errors in server delivery of quotes or price feed inconsistencies between Liquidity Providers and displays exceptions with red arrows.

The result is true price quality and execution risk awareness.

Incoming Signal in Rogue Tick Detector Indicator

The signal from the Malicious Tick Detection indicator is based on detecting inconsistent ticks and not on entry points to trends or patterns; therefore, its use is not for direct trade entry but for assessing the reliability of order execution.

The indicator alerts in the following situations:

• Ticks recorded with invalid timestamps;
• Ticks recorded using expired or out-of-order timestamps;
• Abnormal price deviations between two consecutive price movements;
• The price difference between the bid price and the ask price after receiving the quotation is too large;
• A sudden increase in price under normal volatile conditions.
