from bean-query with something like:

bean-query my.bean "select date,flag,payee,narration,position,balance from 
OPEN ON 2019-05-01 WHERE account ~ 'Assets:Checking' "

?

I don't think there's an easy way to get an average for your other 
question. You could do

bean-query --numberify -f csv my.bean "select date,balance from OPEN ON 
2019-05-01 WHERE account ~ 'Assets:Checking'" | script-that-does-math

and calculate the time-weighted average. Though that's clearly not nearly 
as convenient as ledger having it built in.
