[User Discussion] - how can I add a closing tick that is outside session time to last candle?

I am trading DAX futures, trading time is from 08:00 until 22:05 according to Eurex.

In (for example) a 60-minutes chart, I have session time configured as 08:00 until 21:59:59. In this way I have a nice 14 candles each day, one per hour.

However: it appears that the closing tick (last auction around 22:04) is missing from the chart. This makes sense, because this last tick occurs outside of the session time that ends at 21:59:59. Result: my charts are not correct, as close of day price is missing.

However, if I configure my session time window to expire at 22:05, then I get one extra 1H-candle, that consists of only one tick ... this is undesirable, because now indicator values are distorted.

Is there a way to have this last 22:04 tick added to the last candle (on hourly chart that would be the 21:00:00 to 21:59:59 candle)?
