"... how to make "foreign" chart showing in candlesticks? ..."
I have figured that out myself. Here is the code followed by comments about handling of data holes (in either the primary or foreign ticker):
/*********************************/
// Foreign Chart In Indicator Pane
ft_ = ParamStr("Foreign Ticker", "SPY"); // foreign ticker
ff_ = ParamToggle("Foreign Fixup", "OFF|ON", 1); // foreign fixup, 1=ON
fv_ = Foreign( ft_, "C", ff_); // foreign bar's close value
PlotForeign(ft_, "", colorOrange, styleCandle); // plot foreign chart
Title = "\\c11"+Interval(format=2)+" "+Date()+"\\c27 "+Name()+"="+C+"\\c25 "+ft_+"="+fv_;
/*****
1) PlotForeign function synchronizes date/time bars between both tickers
a) if Primary ticker has missing bars: the function will automatically remove equivalent excess bars from the
Foreign chart
b) if Foreign ticker has missing bars: each data hole will be filled up with a duplicate of the last "real"
bar (equivalent of Forign() fixup=1)
c) Foreign Fixup parameter (set to OFF) can be used to check in the Title which Foreign bars are duplicates
(they will show as equal zero)
