Hi,
we must be careful with this kind of decorative tools other wise a newbie might think those dots as signals and trade it 
. Good lucks Good Trading to all
Nah! i don't think anyone falls into that.
Open Dots?
You can open up the mq4 file. Change all word "Close" to "Open", save the file as OpenDots.mq4 and compile (Press F5).
And you've created your very first indicator, congrats! 
look good Dots Chart
That one is sorted;
@ the line saying; int i = Bars;
change the "Bars" to say 2 to show last 2 closes, 1 for last close.
And addendum; to change dot color, change both lines below to your preferred color recognized by MQL4;
#property indicator_color1 Yellow
SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_ARROW,STYLE_SOLID,1,Yellow);
BUT...there is new annoyance!
I don't want to see the currently forming bar's close as it is dynamic till the current bar is CLOSED. How do I get rid of it showing the currently dynamic CLOSE?
I have played with the buffer value and few other places, i still can't get rid of the currently forming bar's close dot. YELP!
