In column P, I want it to show a 1 on the most recent sell entry. The formula I'm using is "=if(and(J5<0,J41-J42<2/1440,J41-J42>0/1440),1,0)". Sometimes a 1 will appear in P3 temporarily, but I'm looking for it show me a 1 in P6 if the entry was 3 minutes ago. The reason I can't reference column M is because my entry happens on a moving average crossover, so sometimes it will put me in a trade, and the signal will disappear because price doesn't always stay across the moving average. Do you have any ideas that I can try?

It's not possible to capture an intrabar event in a spreadsheet study, except only the most recent.

You need to use an absolute reference when referencing a column J value:
=if(and($J$5<0,$J$41-$J$42<2/1440,$J$41-$J$42>0/1440),1,0)

You don't need to use the IF function when returning 1/0:
=and($J$5<0,$J$41-$J$42<2/1440,$J$41-$J$42>0/1440)

Try this in P3:
=AND(ROW()<>3,$J$42>A3,$J$42<A2)
