To run this back-test accurately I need to pin down a few practical details and be sure the approach fits the capabilities of the back-testing engine we have available: 1. Universe • Do you want to screen the entire U.S. equity market (NYSE + NASDAQ) each day, or limit it to a standard universe such as the Russell 3000 or S&P 500 constituents? 2. Weighting & rebalancing cost • Should the 500 stocks be equal-weighted at the open each day, or weighted by traded dollar volume? • Is it acceptable to ignore trading costs / slippage, or would you like us to embed an assumed commission and bid–ask spread? 3. Data granularity • Our single-asset back-testing engine can handle portfolio signals but must receive them as a file. – One option is for me to programmatically create a daily portfolio file listing the 500 tickers and weights, then run the test. – The other option is to approximate the concept with an investable proxy (for example, using an ETF or an equal-weighted index of high-turnover stocks), which would be much quicker. If you confirm the points above (or accept the suggested defaults: all U.S. stocks, equal-weight, zero trading costs), I’ll generate the signal file and run the full back-test from 2022-01-03 through today.
