Good description - easy to understand.
The case of marking trading days is easier since you just have to
count them. This is the "if IMode = 1" section of the code below. You
may need to modify the statement:
if Mod(Count, Days) = 0
from zero to some other number since it wasn't clear when you wanted
to start plotting.
The case of marking calendar days is more complicated. You need to
convert dates to Julian dates and increment to the next date even
when the target date falls on a non-trading day. The "if IMode = 2"
section of the code below should be close.

Inputs: StrtDate(1010115), Days(5), IMode(1);
Vars: Count(0), JDateNxt(DateToJulian(StrtDate)); {Inialize variables}
if IMode = 1 and Date >= StrtDate then begin
Count = Count +1; {Count trading days}
if Mod(Count, Days) = 0 then {Plot every "Days" days}
PlotPaintBar(High, Low, "PB1");
end;
{Plot if Julian dates match}
if IMode = 2 and DateToJulian(Date) = JDateNxt then begin
PlotPaintBar(High, Low, "PB1");
end;
{Update to next Julian date on next trading day}
if DateToJulian(Date) >= JDateNxt then begin
JDateNxt = JDateNxt + Days;
end;
