PW run times seem to be linear based on the number of months in the simulation date range, number of enabled EFs, and number of enabled strategies/strategies selected. Having PW runs automatically compute the entire date range for all EFs would cause runs to take much longer, reducing the total number of runs that could be performed per day which would lead to longer wait times for all Pro users. An individual user is free to submit runs like that (and wait a long time for them to finish) but I think that should be the user's choice. Unless there are VERY significant performance improvements that can be made in PW, I think the way it works now is best. What Nirvana does need to do is (1) clearly document the difference in how static vs dynamic portfolios work in simulations and (2) have OV generate warning messages when there is a mismatch between simulation date ranges of the account and any dynamic portfolios configured into the account.
