There is not a way to test the previous bar at a relative position (such as High or Low). When you use the Offset option within the BVAP and AVAP functions, it gives you the volume at the price set for the current bar. For example, if the current bar High is 4321.00 then when you ask for the Bid or Ask volume for the High from a previous bar, it will give you the volume from that bar at a price of 4321.00 (not at the High for that previous bar). Refer to the information here:

But in order to use the condition in another study, you would want to use the "Spreadsheet Formula" and put the condition into the formula for that study. The Spreadsheet Formula uses the Alert syntax, so it would give you the True/False (1, 0) results you could use elsewhere. Refer to the following:
