For the point you want to add, you would need its position on the y-axis yValue and the date where it is to be placed on the x-axis xValue (formatted as a single serial date number). Then the following should work:

candle(...);  %# Make your candle plot
hold on;      %# Add to the existing plot
plot(xValue,yValue,'r.');  %# Plot a red dot

If you want a larger red dot, you can replace the last line with either of the following:

plot(xValue,yValue,'r.','MarkerSize',20);
plot(xValue,yValue,'ro','MarkerFaceColor','r');
