After sent this I started thinking about it and decided it couldn't work. Otherwise counters would get screwed up counting multiple times on each new tick.
It has to evaluate all expressions on a tick-within-a-bar to be able to correctly plot but must not store the results back in memory.
I use that trick to prevent multiple executions on tick-based charts all the time and it works fine, but a tick-based bar is a real bar. The most common case is the LastBarOnChart function that is true for all bars with the same date/time as the last bar.
I wondered if you could store values in a plot since plots obviously have to be updated to plot correctly.
I will tried the following code and got the printout below.
Clearly Print statements are executed on each tick but the resulting values are not stored until the next bar completes, even for the Plot1 statement...

if Time > Time[1] then begin
Plot1(Cnt, "1");
Print(Date:7:0, Time:5:0, " A", Cnt:9:0, Plot1:9:0);
end;
Cnt = Cnt + 1;
Plot1(Plot1 + 1, "1");
Print(Date:7:0, Time:5:0, " B", Cnt:9:0, Plot1:9:0);
