I am unable to plot candlestick in Julia properly.  
Here is a sample code:  
using Plots  
using Dates  
using MarketData  
using TimeSeries  
gr()

ta = yahoo(:GOOG, YahooOpt(period1 = now() - Month(1)))  
display(plot(ta, seriestype= :candlestick))

The output I get is below

How to ensure that I get red & green candles?

I updated Julia, it worked.
