Shahariar,
You will need to clarify what you mean by "when the value of this cond1 is greater than the last time when this cond1 occured".
cond1 is a binary result and will thus only ever have 2 values: 0 or 1. There will never be a case where a later cond1 was greater than a prior cond1 since for all instances that cond1 is true, they will all be 1.
If you mean that you want the difference between the two averages to be greater, then use that in the ValueWhen expression.
difference = ema(close,3) - ema(close,15)
cond1= differnece > 0;
Buy = cond1 AND difference > ValueWhen(cond1, difference, 2);
Similarly, if you mean either of ema(close,3) or ema(close,15), then use that in the ValueWhen expression.
ema3 = ema(close, 3);
ema15 = ema(close, 15);
difference = ema3 - ema15;
cond1= differnece > 0;
Buy = cond1 AND ema3 > ValueWhen(cond1, ema3, 2);

Therefore, you must alter the code to make the trigger be the point at which you can actually recognize the pivot low as being such (i.e. the bar one or more bars in the future from the actual pivot low at which point you are able to look back and say "yes, that was the pivot low").
