Philipp,

FoldList applies here:

In[1]:= values = Range[9]
Out[1]= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

In[2]:= FoldList[Plus, 0, values] // Rest
Out[2]= {1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45}

If you want to incorporate a criterium just replace Plus by the pure =
function:

If[crit[x = Plus[##]], x, 0] &


For your application crit is

In[5]:= crit[x_] := -0.002 =98 x =98 0.002

In[6]:= c = FoldList[If[crit[x = Plus[##]], x, 0] &, 0, ValueList] =
// Rest
Out[6]=
{0, -0.000654511, 0, 0.00103598, -0.00009301, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, =
-0.00140056, \
0, 0, 0, 0, 0.000289855, 0.000579626, -0.000772244, 0}
