How to add a simple bollinger band to this lower custom study?

Hi there,

Is there a way to add a 20-day moving average bollinger band to this code?

declare lower;
plot StockPrice = close(GetUnderlyingSymbol(), priceType=PriceType.LAST );

Also, is there a way to make the lower study display in candle sticks? Thanks!

@tempestlight Here you go. I simply added the default Bollinger Band code to a candlestick code.
Edit: I realized that you are likely trading options by the use of GetUnderlyingSymbol(), so the code is corrected to use the underlying for both the Bollinger Bands and candlesticks.
Code:
declare lower;

def o = open(GetUnderlyingSymbol());
def c = close(GetUnderlyingSymbol());
def h = high(GetUnderlyingSymbol());
def l = low(GetUnderlyingSymbol());
def n = double.nan;

input displace = 0;
input length = 20;
input Num_Dev_Dn = -2.0;
input Num_Dev_up = 2.0;
input averageType = AverageType.SIMPLE;

def sDev = StDev(data = c[-displace], length = length);

plot MidLine = MovingAverage(averageType, data = c[-displace], length = length)...

plot MidLine = MovingAverage(averageType, data = c[-displace], length = length);
plot LowerBand = MidLine + Num_Dev_Dn * sDev;
plot UpperBand = MidLine + Num_Dev_up * sDev;

LowerBand.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(0));
MidLine.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
UpperBand.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));

AddChart(high = if c > o then h else n,
         low = if c > o then l else n,
         close = if c > o then c else n,
         open = if c > o then o else n,
         ChartType.CANDLE, Color.GREEN);
AddChart(high = if c < o then h else n,
         low = if c < o then l else n,
         open = if c < o then o else n,
         close = if c < o then c else n,
         ChartType.CANDLE, Color.RED);
AddChart(high = if c == o then h else n,
         low = if c == o then l else n,
         open = if c == o then o else n,
         close = if c == o then c else n,
         ChartType.CANDLE, Color.WHITE);

Quick question, do you know if it's possible to add the closing bar price here?
