To run this back-test I’ll need a bit more detail so we can translate your idea into explicit daily trading signals: 1. Universe of stocks • Do you want to consider every U.S. common stock, restrict to a major index (e.g., Russell 3000, S&P 500), or supply your own ticker list? • If an index, please specify which one. 2. Ranking data source • We’ll need each stock’s daily trading volume for the full period (2022-01-03 to 2025-09-09). • If you already have this data or a daily list of the top-500 symbols, you can provide it as a file; otherwise I’ll have to pull volume for every stock in the universe, which may be heavy and time-consuming. 3. Execution assumptions • Buy at today’s close, sell at next day’s close (one-day hold) – this matches your description. • Equal-weight across the 500 names each day? (Typical for this kind of test.) • Any transaction-cost or slippage you’d like me to include? Once we have these items pinned down I can generate the daily signals and run the back-test.
