Post From: Spreadsheet latch cell

Hello,

I have an indicator that fires once and then gives no signal until the next occurence. I want to create a cell that remembers that change and stays "TRUE" until some other condition resets it.

I have tried the information given here, Spreadsheet Studies Special Tasks: Locking the State of a One Time Condition

I already had some formulas in a spreadhseet, so I used different columns than what the example listed;

Sierra example "K3" is in Column T
Sierra example "H3" is in column U
Sierra example "E3" is in column V

I have transposed all column labels in all formulas as above.

After I enter the final command as listed in the example, I can sit here and watch Column U continuosly change from 1s to 0s in every visible row. Is that expected, and if so, I am a bit lost on which cell becomes my coondition-TRUE trigger. :)

The concept behind it is simple; If an indicator has a crossover, then I want the condition to become TRUE and remain TRUE until it is RESET by either a) a trade entry ( which will be at a later time via a different trade entry condition trigger), or b) until a different indicator returns TRUE (which would indicate that the TRUE state of the original latch cell was now FALSE).

See attached screenshot with the contents of cell "H3" displayed.
