To run an accurate back-test for this strategy I need to pin down a few practical details: Universe • Do you want the top-500 by dollar volume on the entire U.S. equity market (all listed U.S. common stocks), or are you thinking of a narrower universe such as the S&P 500 constituents? Trade-timing convention • Should we assume you buy the chosen names at today’s close and liquidate them at tomorrow’s close (i.e., “hold for one trading day”), or do you prefer another convention (e.g., buy next-day open, sell next-day close)? Execution price • Is close-to-close OK, or would you like open-to-close? Portfolio level vs. single-asset constraints • Our built-in back-test engine handles one security at a time. A fully cross-sectional “top-500” test requires custom code outside the current toolset. Two work-arounds are possible: a) Use a representative ETF (e.g., SPY or RSP) as a proxy for the whole basket. b) Restrict the test to a single ticker or a smaller subset. Let me know which direction you’d like to take (and any other constraints), and I’ll set up the back-test accordingly.
