The way I interpret it is that if the signal is true on the current bar, then that is the most recent occurrence, which is the situation in your case.
As for zero and negative values, I'd just work forward from that situation, although logically -1 should be the next occurrence, so I'm not sure about zero. Next step to figure it out would be trial and error.
