How do I add a criteria that looks for stocks that closed at a 5-Day low in price?

    Not sure if you mean lowest close in 5 days, or at/below the lowest low in 5 days...

    If you mean lowest close in 5 days, then

    and [close = min(5, close)]

    However, if price has been falling, today's close could be both a 5 day low (the lowest in 5 days) and, say, a 10 day low (lowest in 10 days).

    So, if you want exactly a 5 day lowest close, you could test for

    and [close > min(6, close)]
