Reading sudden movement in price

[nixtrix]

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to detect a sudden move in price(lets say 5 pips) in a less than 1second time difference between the previous price.

An Example would be: At 4:10.12 the price was 1.6754 and at 4:10.125 the price is now 1.6759.

If i am unclear please let me know.

Thanks

current price minus the previous price

against current time minus the previous time

for time you can use TimeCurrent, TimeLocal or GetTickCount

It can be unreliable as you will miss ticks with some Brokers when price is moving fast  . . .

Thank you for the replies.

I have another slight problem when trying to calculate the difference between the previous price and the current.

My code so far is:

   static double tickCurrent; 
   double tickPrevious = tickCurrent; 
   tickCurrent = Bid;   
   double diff = tickPrevious - tickCurrent;
   
   Print("Difference ", diff);

I am getting results such as: Difference -1.000000000006551e-005

Try

Print("Difference ", DoubleToStr(diff,Digits));
