I am attempting to create a condition that allows a short only if the last swing high is lower that the last swing high. How can I use the spreadsheet to save the value of the current swing high and prior swing high so that I can create a formula to compare them?
Attached I supplied a Screenshot of what I am looking at as well as my spreadsheet...

Using that example code just copied the study values from the original cells to O3. I need every value > 0 to print on this line only. Unless I can compare the last value >0 to the previous value >0

That example creates a persistent value of the most recent event, and the second most recent event,
and brings both values to row 3, in columns O and P respectively, where you can compare them.

Use a formula like this in O3:
=IF(ID3.SG1@3 > 0, ID3.SG1@3, O4)

Use a formula like this in P3:
=IF(ID3.SG1@3 > 0, O4, P4)

-where the Swing High and Low study is ID3.

This is for the Swing High. Replicate in two other Formula Columns for the Swing Low.

That code does work. I think I was getting confused because didn't have the second subgraph enabled

Code used for swing highs (HH is the Cell for Swing high)

=IF(HH3>0, HH3, O4) --- Cell O
=IF(HH3>0, O4, P4)--- Cell P
=IF(HH3>0, P4, Q4)--- Cell Q

Code used for swing LOWS (HI is the Cell for Swing Low)

=IF(HI3>0, HI3, R4)--- Cell R
=IF(HI3>0, R4, S4)--- Cell S
=IF(HI3>0, S4, T4)--- Cell T
