I would like to compare current price with past Highs and Lows, and past highs with highs before and lows with lows before. How do I reference these turning points? I appreciate if someone point me to the right direction. Thanks...

You can do it with a spreadsheet study. Here are some example formulas: Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Other Examples

Thank you Tomgilb, I am aware of the example formulas, as a newbie to spreadsheet formulas ( I mostly do my work with "color bar based on alert condition" study) how ever I could not figure out how to reference previous Higher high to a higher high before that, for example, any leads on that direction?

It's not possible to reference previous Zigzag swing highs and lows with Simple Alert formulas. To do it with a spreadsheet study, you'd need a formula for each previous high and low, so the number of previous legs you could reference would be limited.

If you don't want to see the exact values you can also use the swing high and low study. That study can draw you a line at each swing point along with some arrows etc
