Not sure what version you have, but if yours has the function for barstatus,
you can set up a big dot plot that only plots if it is not the last tick of
a bar, e.g.,
 if barstatus(1)<>2 then plot1... else noplot(1);

I used to use this to plot  indicator values rounded to the nearest tick for
display in scaling.

Or you could use text or a tl, but realtime text on fast markets is a pain,
imho. Or another thing I used for a while is simply coloring the close
yellow while the bars are white, or whatever colors work for you.
