Does Quicken have any plans to add TWR investment performance calculation to the system?

    We're other users and, thus, have no idea about this. And, Q never pre-announces new features until JUST before they're released.

    For the uninitiated, TWR stands for Time Weighted Return. I edited the title to expand the acronym.

    Quicken's Investing > Performance > Growth of $10,000 chart is supposed to be based on a TWR calculation, but unfortunately Quicken's formula is flawed and gives incorrect results if there are large cash inflows or outflows near the start of the period.

    For reference, you are talking about the Time-Weighted Rate of Return (TWR) Formula (investopedia.com) , aren't you?
