Extension of the forcast period

I would like to reopen a topic that has been discussed several times and which, in my opinion, repeatedly leads to misunderstandings and/or unwanted functions. As we all know, DESS only operates for the period for which it has known prices. We all see great PV and consumption forecasts for 7 days, but the full potential is not being used. Surplus electricity is sold on sunny weekends, even though the forecast already shows that there will be a shortfall in PV production at the beginning of the week. Or another example: no electricity is bought at the weekend, even though it is clear that electricity is generally more expensive during the week. Now I keep asking myself why it is not possible to use an estimated price above and beyond the published electricity price. To give an example, perhaps the average price of the last four Mondays for the coming Monday. We are happy to discuss whether the last four weeks or the last year are used. One option could even be to let the user enter this forecast price themselves. I actually think that the final price is secondary. I think it’s more important that the forecast period be extended. That electricity isn’t sold on weekends when a dark period is imminent. Or that the system buys energy on weekends during periods of particularly low electricity prices because it’s foreseeable that it will be more expensive next week. The way the system currently works, future forecasts are nothing more than a nice gimmick.
