Scan for 5 min price crosses previous days close

[aimsicle01]

Looking for a scan code that I can use on the 5 min chart to alert me when that 5 minute candle high crosses yesterdays close.
I tried this code, but it says secondary timeframe not allowed.

high("period" = AggregationPeriod.FIVE_MIN) crosses above close("period" = AggregationPeriod.DAY) from 1 bars ago

@aimsicle01 Secondary aggregation periods are not allowed in Scans... We can have different aggregation periods for different scan filters but they cannot be combined into a single filter... That is a limitation of TOS...

Ok thank you. So alternatively, wouldnt that be the same as going from .00 on the close to +.01 on the % change for the day? Could that work instead? I think we would need to exclude extended hours

Or how about price is above first 5 minute candle of opening ?

Give the following code a try and get back to us on how it works... Remember that until a candle/bar closes, Close is Last regardless of the timeframe... Therefore whenever close crosses above yesterdays close the condition is valid regardless of your current timeframe... The Last price will be the same for 1m, 2m, 5m, etc... You are just looking for a price cross above, not a close above, so this should be valid criteria...

plot data = close crosses above close(period=AggregationPeriod.DAY)[1];
