Hi, testing out sierra charts. was using the chart calculator (alt + 2) tool and cant help but notice it counts TD (trading days?) wrong? example i dragged it from 15 June to 30 June. why does it show 15 TD (includes both weekends as trading days?). is this correct, or a bug? other software I used will exclude weekends... thanks!

EDIT: for example, on tradingview if you use their counting tool, it will say 11 bars, 15 days. is similar thing possible in Sierra?

Or is there another tool for counting trading bars (based on time frame)? like telling me how many 30 min bars fr point A to B (instead of the total time units 2hr 30 min I prefer it to say 5 bars). Thanks

TD is Time Difference.

What you want is Number of Bars.

You can enable that for the Chart Calculator tool. Refer to:
