The indicator plots the candles on two symbols in the separate window.

The DRAW_CANDLES drawing style plots the candles using the values of 4 indicator buffers with Open, High, Low and Close prices. The N variable is defined as input parameter, it can be changed using the "Properties" window. The color and symbols changed randomly each N ticks. To see how does it work, attach two indicators to the chart.

Note that initial properties of the plot1 graphic plot (DRAW_CANDLES) are defined using the #property preprocessor directive, further these properties changed randomly (OnCalculate() function).
