Average volume for First bar of the Day

I'm trying to create a code where you can input a "X" number of days, and I can get the average Volume of the First bar for those "X" days.
For example, I want to get the average Volume of the first Bar for the last 5 days, beginning with yesterday.

I feel like this should be pretty simple, but I can't seem to get the code right. Any help would be appreciated!

That took a minute.
Had to figure out how to define a moving range.
Averages first bar of day volume for past X number of prior days at the opening bar of every day.
The first X number of days on a chart will be blank as there isn't enough data until the day after X number of days.

Ruby:
#Averages first bar of day volume for past X number of prior days at the opening bar of every day.

input Number_Of_Signals_To_Be_Averaged = 5;
input Value_To_Be_Averaged = volume;
input Time_Of_First_Bar_Of_Day = 0930;

def NotToday = GetDay() <> GetLastDay();
def BarToBeAveraged = (secondsFromTime(Time_Of_First_Bar_Of_Day)==0) and NotToday;
def SignalBar = (secondsFromTime(Time_Of_First_Bar_Of_Day)==0);
def...
@hboogie building a strategy on one indicator alone is not advisable.

The dark green bars are at or exceed a RVOL of 1 but do not exceed the previous bar by percent gain threshold.

I agree! Simply trying to get a complete volume indicator that replaces several I use. Certainly seasoned enough to know an indicator can’t in and of itself be perfect.

Appreciate your expertise and elegant coding.

I’ll try my hand at using an LLM to combine some thoughts.

Thank you!
