Hi Guys, relatively new to the forum in terms of posts... just wondering if others have been getting the 'Old Tick' message on MT4?
Any idea what it means and if it is causing a problem?

DislikedI have seen it from time to time. I think it happens when market activity picks up and the ticks coming from the server get out of order for one reason or another. So tick #3 is sent to the client before tick #2 is sent. Then when tick #2 is received, the client rejects it with the "old tick" message you are seeing. One tick more or less isn't going to cause a problem. Strangely enough, I can't remember seeing it in the past month or so.Ignored
DislikedThats been my understanding but it is not easy to get exact details. It seems that it has no damage to my trading, but always like to know what is going on! I was also told that it could be the EA not reacting fast enough? I use Megadroid which seems to hit spikes?Ignored
DislikedI received "old tick" message once every few minutes on FXCM UK. Is this problem caused by the MT4 client, network or the MT4 server(i.e broker)?
If it's caused by MT4 server, is there any resolution other than switching broker?
Thanks.Ignored
