Average Last 5 Candles

Hi all, anyone have a script that can do the average of the last 5 candles for price plot on screen. similar idea, but an average length price of the last 5 bars to apply to daily or intraday. Thank you
 
thank you Sleepy saving your shared item worked! note sure what the issue was.

Question, i noticed on smaller traded stocks the full decimal amount was not calculating. for example on this stock BLIN, it just shows 0 mostly, and not the average cents it has moved in the last 5 bars. Is there a way for me to format so it shows?

Where I have rounded avg to 2 expand it to round to 3, etc until you find what you want.
 
could you point out where, i don't see a 2 in the source code.

declare lower;

input length = 5;
input agg = aggregationPeriod.FIVE_MIN;
def avg_prior_x_bars = Sum(close(period=agg)[1] - open(period=agg)[1], length) / length;

AddChartBubble(!IsNaN(close) , 100, agg/60000+"m \n" + astext(avg_prior_x_bars) , if avg_prior_x_bars>=0 then color.light_green else color.pink);

plot x105 = 105;
plot x100 = 100;
plot x0 = 0;
x105.setdefaultColor(color.black);
x100.setdefaultColor(color.black);
x0.setdefaultColor(color.black);

I used 'astext' instead of 'round'. Just remove 'astext'. If you want you can replace it with 'round(avg_prior_x_bars,3). The 3 can be replaced with whatever length you want. I used 'astext' as it displays the trailing zero in 2.20, whereas the 'round' function would display that as 2.2.
