Steve,
Candlesticks involve HIGH, LOW, OPEN and CLOSE price arrays.
Plot statement takes only ONE aray,
In User's Guide:
Tutorial: Using graph styles, colors, titles and parameters in Indicator Builder
It is written:
Note on candlestick/bar charts: these styles use indirectly O, H, L arrays.
=============================================
OHL arrays are from currently selected symbol.
That's why it works if ^VIX is selected (because OHL arrays are correct).
To plot CANDLESTICKS of FOREIGN symbol you either must use
PlotOHLC function that takes FOUR price arrays
or
PlotForeign that is a shortcut for calling Foreign 4 times and calling PlotOHLC
