To run this back-test rigorously I need to lock-in two practical details that the original description did not specify: 1. Market universe • Default I would use all U.S. listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX, survivorship-bias-free). • If you prefer a different universe (e.g., S&P 1500, China A-shares, etc.) please let me know. 2. Trade-execution convention • The usual way to avoid “look-ahead bias” is: – At the close of each day t we know that day’s trading volume. – We form the portfolio of the 500 highest-volume names and enter at the next session’s open (t + 1 open). – We exit at that same day’s close (t + 1 close), then repeat. • If you would rather assume close-to-close holding (which slightly over-states feasibility) or any other rule, please specify. Everything else (sample period 2022-01-03 through 2025-09-10, equal-weight across the 500 names, daily re-balancing) will follow directly from your choices above. Please confirm (a) the universe and (b) the execution convention, or give any adjustments, and I will run the retrieval-and-back-test pipeline immediately.
