Wrong enty exit and differences in Momentify Portfolio and RZone backtest

[Yogesh Kumar-1757946211892]

Hello Definedge team,

I made a portfolio and invested through Momentify (after doing backtesing for several days ) on 01-Sep-25, I got 17 shares as per scanner conditions and strategy (Allotted 1 lakh on 20 stocks, but got 17 as per stock selection criteria). On 1-Oct-25 , did rebalancing as per rules , the strategy squared off 14 stocks and gave entry to 3 new stocks, so I have total = 17 -14 +3 = 6 stocks on 31st-Oct-25. Now rebalancing date is on 01-Nov-25 (Saturday is off, will do on 03-Nov-25). I got a mail for rebalancing, I checked the basket so it is showing 3 outing stocks and 3 incoming as per strategy criteria. All is okay till here because we have to rely on Momentify and don't have to do the changes manually as advised by Mr Prashant ji and it's the core and important idea of investing through this method for long term.
Now, out of curiosity and after reading some feedbacks of users about the wrong backtesting result and discrepancies. I ran the backtesting with same conditions of my real portfolio, same date i.e 01-sep25, it shows 17 stocks ( same result when I started), but next month on 1st-Oct-25, backtesting is showing entry of 4 stocks and exit of 1 stocks , so it makes 17-4+1 = 20 stocks for the month of October whereas in my real portfolio it made me exit 14 stocks and now I am holding only 6 stocks.
Pls look into this, how can we trust the backtesting? what is the point of spending hours with a hope of investing in good strategy through platform? it is really a serious issue, if such issues persist, I am afraid that, users will consider other alternatives available in market.
Hope to hear from you soon and you fix this issue asap.
Attaching backtesting result and real holding for reference.

Thanks & Regards,
