To run this back-test properly I need to clarify two practical items and make sure the proposed workflow matches what you have in mind: 1. Universe to rank • Do we use all U.S. exchange-listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ), or a narrower list such as the S&P 1500 constituents? • ADRs, ETFs and penny stocks can be excluded unless you explicitly want them. 2. Transaction convention • Buy at today’s close and sell at tomorrow’s close (T-to-T+1)? • Or buy at tomorrow’s open and sell at tomorrow’s close? (The first is the most common way to test daily re-balancing strategies.) Because the framework here back-tests one ticker at a time, the route I would take is: • Each day construct an equal-weighted basket of the 500 highest-volume stocks in the chosen universe. • Chain those daily baskets into a synthetic “Top-500-by-Volume” index. • Feed that synthetic index into the strategy back-test engine as if it were a single ticker (with daily rebalance built in). If that approach sounds good, let me know your preference for the two items above and I’ll proceed to build and test the strategy from 2022-01-01 to today.
