This would be a useful indicator to check the data with . Since the markets are 24 hours then any gap more than a few pips might be indicative of an error in the data, except over the weekends.

Gap indicator measures the gap between current open price and previous bar close price.
If the gap is greater than a Minimum Gap, the indicator rises a signal.

There are two logical rules.
- "Positive Gap" - rises buy signal if the gap is positive and sell signal if the gap is negative.
- "Negative Gap" - rises sell signal if the gap is positive and buy signal if the gap is negative.

Formula:

// Positive Gap logic
if (Open[bar] > Close[bar - 1] + minGap) 
    longSignals[bar] = 1;
if (Open[bar] < Close[bar - 1] - minGap) 
    shortSignals[bar] = 1;

// Negative Gap logic
if (Open[bar] < Close[bar - 1] - minGap) 
    longSignals[bar] = 1;
if (Open[bar] > Close[bar - 1] + minGap) 
    shortSignals[bar] = 1;
