I have a question around using multiple timeframes (4-6) for one symbol but also linking spreadsheets as though to have only (1) buy or sell entry alert based on pre-set indicators. Is this doable with SC? On another note, on the spreadsheet is it possible to have ID0.SG2 and ID0.SG2 display from the point in time which we "buy entry"? If that isn't possible, is there another way that an indicator can tell us the peak price point whether that be a long/short position from the "buy entry" and also the last trade?

Start with the lowest time frame. You create charts with multiple time frames by using the "Study/Price Overlay" Study, one for each of the other time frames. You attach one spreadsheet to the base chart, and it will see all the values of the chart's candles as Columns A-F, plus the overlaid values as IDx.SGy columns. AFAIK you can only do a text display of values in columns K and up, so you may have to dedicate 2 formula columns to the bars you want. For example, P3=ID0.SG1@3. Then use the Text Display for Study to show column P of the spreadsheet.
