Try this:
If price.close(1) > price.low And price.last > price.close(1) Or price.close(1) < price.high And price.last < price.close(1) Then pass

Michael T, That works for the Daily chart. However... I'm interested in The hourly and 5 min chart crossing yesterday's close.
Thanks,
Joe

This should do it. Will work on any time frame and return True when price crosses up or down through the previous day's close.
'|*****************************************************************|
'|*** StockFinder RealCode Condition - Version 5.1 www.worden.com
'|*** Copy and paste this header and code into StockFinder *********
'|*** Condition:Price crossing prev day close
'|*** Example: if price.percentChange > 1 then pass
'|******************************************************************
Static prevDayClose As Single
Static prevDay As Single
If isFirstBar Then
prevDay = price.DateValue().day
End If
Dim currDay As Integer = price.DateValue().day
If currDay <> prevDay Then
prevDay = currDay
prevDayClose = price.close(1)
End If
If prevDayClose > 0 Then
If (price.close(1) < prevDayClose And price.close > prevDayClose) Or _
(price.close(1) > prevDayClose And price.close < prevDayClose) Then pass
End If

I could not get it to work. I just cut and paste into new real code condition.

If you copy the header through End If, you can just right-click on the chart in StockFinder and select Paste.
After you create the condtion, right click on the condition and Paint Price History so you can see where it's returning True. Make sure your chart is set to an intraday time frame.

It paints fine, however when I use it as a sort it brings back all symbols indicating greater than 50 bars. This is on a 5 minute time frame.

That means that none crossed the previous days price in the last 50 bars which would have been since around 11:50am on July 1. I just spot-checked about 100 symbols and none of them crossed over the previous day's close since early in the trading day on Friday.
