Previous "five" days close price

Hello! I want to plot the previous day close price for the last "five" days only on my daily chart. I have written the following, but it plots the close price for every single day on my daily chart. Is there a way to only show the price line on the last five (or any arbitrary) days? Thank you!

Code:
input timeFrame = {default DAY, WEEK, MONTH};


plot Close = close(period = timeFrame)[1];


Close.SetDefaultColor(Color.GRAY);
Close.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.DASHES);

This code will plot the last 5 days close, all on the current day only or extended from each day to the right edge, based upon your choice at the input screen.
