To run this back-test rigorously I’ll need a bit more detail about the investment universe and weighting: 1. Exchange / universe • Do you want all U.S. listed equities (NYSE + NASDAQ), or a narrower list such as the S&P 500 constituents? • If you have a specific ticker list, please share it (CSV or tickers in plain text are fine). 2. Weighting method • Equal-weight (each stock gets 1/500th of the day’s capital), or • Volume-proportional / market-cap-proportional? 3. Re-investing cash • Should we assume the full proceeds are redeployed each day (i.e., no idle cash)? Once I have this information I can set up the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test from 2022-01-01 to today.
