The recommended way to reference other timeframe charts is to use the Study/Price Overlay study.
It is not recommended to use cell references on other sheets because of possible loss of synchronization.

Even when using the Study/Price Overlay study from other timeframes, you can occasionally have signals that either occur then disappear, or are missed then appear after. The 'Data Copy Mode' and 'Bar Time Matching Method' settings can mitigate these anomalies but there is no combination of settings that will always eliminate all of these anomalies.
