Another option is to simply add a 5 minute dataseries to your chart and change it to line on close and change the color to transparent so that it does not show price on your 1 minute chart. Next add an SMA and in the indicator panel for that SMA change the dataseries to the 5 minute (Close). You then have a true 5 minute sma on your one minute chart.

It's really easy but it is hard to write the steps so attached is a 4 minute video on how to add a dataseries, turn it transparent and then add an indicator that uses the hidden data series.
