Conditional order based on price at close of time frame

I am relatively new to trading and brand new to ToS.

Is it possible to have a conditional buy order based on the closing price being at or above a certain level for a given time frame (5 or 15 minutes as an example)?

Welcome to ThinkOrSwim and ThinkScript...

ToS does not do automatic trading. You can create a "strategy" which will place virtual trades for backtesting, but it doesn't have any option for placing actual trades.

With that out of the way, your request is sufficiently vague that I can really only say that it's likely possible to code anything as long as you have access to the data (closes of time periods are readily available in ThinkScript -- some things you may find are not). However, without more specifics on what you're thinking, it won't really be possible to give much more guidance than that.

Again, welcome to trading using ToS... it's a good place to be.
