Yes you can using EFS (Esignal Formula Script).

can I get something like the following done?

while(data_is_coming_in) do
if isXLT(5 daily bars ago) == TRUE AND
if isTouchEllips(current_15min_bar)
then
do_something(alarm or place order or send email or ...)

EFS is a fully programmable language based on JavaScript so you should be able to write most of the custom indicators you want.
To learn about programming in EFS you may want to review the JavaScript for EFS video series and the Core JavaScript Reference Guide. Those will provide you with a thorough introduction to JavaScript which is at the foundation of EFS. Then go through the EFS KnowledgeBase and review the Help Guides and Tutorials which will provide you with the specifics of EFS.
In the process you may also want to search the EFS/API Development forums as many studies have already been programmed in EFS and are freely available.
