Hello,
I am working on running a WFO for a particular strategy, and when I click on "Load historical data to see date ranges" I get a wide variety of timespans instead of consistent ones. For example, I would like the time ranges to be 1 year but instead they range from 2 years down to 8 months. Additionally, the dates sometimes won't load the time period or the time period will change (especially if I try to use the WFO date range wizard). Even when using the wizard I can't get it to behave. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I went and deleted the local files for IQfeed and that made it load the data from the correct timeframe but the intervals are still widely different.
Restarting WL sometimes changes the behavior as well. Basically its totally unpredictable and very frustrating to try to get it to work (when this issue occurs).

Was this after using the WFO Data Range Wizard?
I tried it both ways. I would adjust values in the wizard and they were still different, then I would just do it in the window and get similar results.
Also, you’re loading unfiltered pre/post market data. The window ranges are based on an equal number of data points (bars) so it’s very possible that you’ll wind up with variable sized rages if measured by date instead of bar count.
Using bars since and filtering pre/post leads to the same irregularity:
Yes I agree it kind of sucks. Let’s see how we can improve it!
Making good progress in changing how the WFO windows are calculated. It's calendar based now instead of keying off the actual data points. I don't think either way is right or wrong, but I think most people will make better sense of this calendar-based approach.
