Lesnshawn- BF trades do affect a few Inicators initially,mainly just the faster ones like
Fast Stochs; and ADX (+DI)positive (-DI)negative
The trade is only 1 trade so has minimal effct on the longer time frames Indicators like Full or Slow Stochs.
Sometimes it is corrected and thus the Indicators reflect this. We hate(chartist hate to see them as it messes the chrt up for the day and I think the MM's do it just to spite us sometime!

Sorry to butt in but,.....

Indicators are updated during the current session according to the current price. Therefore the indicators read the same before and after a fat finger because the daily chart does not display intraday values but instead it displays current values and then closing values. The only exceptions are indicators that display "Range" like the Zig-Zag indicator. The problem "Fat-finger" causes is it "shrinks" the available data so it is hard to read with precision or accuracy but there is a few tricks that can be used to remedy this.

I do not find "Fat fingers" to be destructive to the charts at all.

However, it does "shrink" the available data so it is to small to easily read accurately.
