Question about Time Period Length for Fixed Time in Volume by Price Study

I want to create a VbP profile on my chart that shows the accumulated volume of the past 5 trading days.

I know that I have to set it to "One Period at End of Fixed Time Length" and assume I need to select "Days" for the "Time Period Type for Fixed Time".

However, I'm not completely sure what exactly I must enter for "Time Period Length for Fixed Time" because I'm not sure how weekends and bank holidays are treated.
Are they automatically excluded, i.e., are only actual trading days considered here? Or is it rather calendar days?
So, to get the volume of the last 5 trading days, do I need to enter 5 here, or rather 7 (because of 5 weekdays + 2 days weekend)?

Yes:
and assume I need to select "Days" for the "Time Period Type for Fixed Time".

For this you need to set this to 7:
"Time Period Length for Fixed Time"

Since weekends would be included in the days calculation.
