Hello again,

This is how it should look.

Appreciate you working with me on this @GrumpyDuckMan. So what I am trying to accomplish is to have this indicator paint as candlesticks instead of bars on the main chart. I attached two images as an example. When the candlestick option is chosen on MT4, it looks off.

   SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_HISTOGRAM,0,5,clrBlue);

Read section  SetIndexStyle in MQL4 reference manual. You can just go to properties and change the color of the candles. or you can do this;

   ChartSetInteger(Chart_ID,CHART_COLOR_CANDLE_BEAR,clrRed);
   ChartSetInteger(Chart_ID,CHART_COLOR_CANDLE_BULL,clrBlue);
