Post From: MACD Study/Price overlay inaccurate for signal conditions on lower time frame chart

I'm using a study/price overlay on a Tick chart, that pulls in MACD data from a Volume Bar chart for a spreadsheet study. The Tick chart is faster than the Volume Bar chart.

When I use the crosshairs and compare the moment conditions are true- it's not always accurate- & I don't mean off by a little bit of time- even several minutes/bars.

For example, one of the conditions for the tick chart is that the MACD is positive on the volume chart; however, the MACD on the volume chart is clearly negative sometimes. Again, not by 1 bar, or even a minute.

Fill Blanks With Last Value is set to "Yes".

I have tested the input Data Copy Mode with both "Earliest" & "Latest" settings.
I have also tested input Bar Time Matching Method with "Nearest" & "Containing"

The problem still remains.

Please advise.

Thank you!
