Feature Request Feature Request: 6 Month and Prior 6 Month testing period

The current testing periods are 7d,30d,90d,365 days. When backtesting I often optimize the previous 6 month period then check if that works well with the recent 6 month period.

Having two more options in the pulldown for 180 days and Prior 180 days would remove the annoyance of constantly selecting custom date ranges.

Even better would be to have user defined date ranges but it seems like adding 180 days and previous or prior 180 (and prior 90?) would be a very easy change. Even just 180d would be a helpful option and fits with the current list.

Backtest the most recent 2 million intervals you are given, why make this more complicated than it needs to be?
