For these types of problems, it often helps to break up the
conditions for easier understanding.

Using your example, what about something like:

Low1 = Ref(LLV(L,2),-1);
Low2 = ValueWhen(Buy,Ref(L,-1)-0.01);

Sell = L < Low1 OR L < Low2;

SellPrice = IIF(L < Low1,
IIF(L < Low2,
max(Low1, Low2),
Low1),
IIF(L < Low2,
Low2,
0)
);

I'm assuming that if both conditions are met, then the one that
happened first (i.e. the higher price point) would be the selling
price.
