Anybody can confirm are we using trading days of calendar days?
For example in a function ROCP(symbol, days, Resolution.Daily);
if we want 1 month return, should we put 21(trading days) or 30 (calendar days)?

All of the indicators that accept a 'period' parameter use that as the total number of data points. In this case, it sounds like you want 21 data points (trading days) for your ROCP indicator.
If you require it to be an actual calendar month (vs an estimate ~21 days) you'll need to implement an IDataConsolidator that emits bars each time the month changes.
I think the 21 days should be sufficient though.
