When I run Port Sim with and end date of Nov 15, 2018 I get an "Invalid date 12:00:00 AM" message. When the message cancels the dialog box "No Orders" appears " There were no orders obtained to run a simulation, try a different source." The message is in the attached file. I can't set the end date greater than Nov 14, 2018. Is their a limitation on the ports sim date range?

Probably due to market holiday for Pres Bush funeral. IIRC, you can do an update on OT to get a fix for the calendar.

I think it might be something else, I have the update to holidays installed.

It's kind of funny that the error message doesn't actually have a date, only a time -- almost as though it didn't actually save a date.

Curious what would happen if you adjusted the To Do list date settings for the testing and you ran the data download process and analysis again and then went back into Port Sim. The date range in the To Do list can be larger than that in Port Sim. Running it again might fix the database that's got the bad/missing date in it. But maybe you already tried this.
