I’m backtesting a purely technical strategy on a single ETF with daily rebalances. I also have the corresponding live strategy which I run manually daily. I noticed it didn’t trade as the simulated one and that there is also something I don’t quite understand in the simulation.
For example, I set the simulation period until 04/09/26 and see that the last trade is on 04/10/26. The ETF appears on the “Top Holdings” list. How can the last trade be dated after the simulation period?
I also tested setting the period until 04/10/26. Now I don’t see the ETF on the list “Top Holdings” list but I see it was bought on 04/10/26 and sold on 04/13/26 on the “Recent Trades” list. It should be on the “Top Holdings” list.
I’m not sure if I forgot to run the live manual daily rebalance on the trading days, but now this has happened a few times, and the simulation result also does not look correct. Am I missing something?
