Answer 1

That is because you are passing line data to a candlestick OHLC needs its data as an array of array, with the each element on inner array having 5 values as [x,o,h,l,c]

series.addPoint([
    x,
    Math.random()*100,
    Math.random()*100,
    Math.random()*100,
    Math.random()*100
    ], true, true);


data.push([
    time + i * 1000,
    Math.random()*100,
    Math.random()*100,
    Math.random()*100,
    Math.random()*100
    ]);
