Dominion Energy Tumbles 2.21% as Muted Momentum Sinks to 454th in U.S. Trading Volume

Dominion Energy (D) closed 2.21% lower on Sept. 25, with a trading volume of $250 million, ranking 454th in U.S. equity market activity. The decline occurred amid mixed energy sector dynamics, though no company-specific news directly linked to operational or strategic developments was disclosed in available reports.

Analysts noted that the stock's performance remained detached from broader energy price trends, with no regulatory updates or earnings surprises reported during the period. Market participants observed limited catalysts in the energy infrastructure sector, as investors focused on macroeconomic indicators rather than firm-specific factors.

To provide an accurate test I need to pin down a couple of practical details: Market universe • Do you want "all U.S. listed stocks" (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX) ranked each day by dollar volume, or a narrower universe such as the S&P 500 constituents? Portfolio construction • Should the 500 names be equally-weighted each day (the simplest approach), or weighted by something else (e.g., proportional to their trading volume)? Execution price convention • Buy at that day’s close and sell at the next day’s close (close-to-close), or open-to-open, etc. Transaction costs / slippage • If you would like them modeled, please specify (e.g., 2 bp per side). Once I have those items I can generate the daily trading signals and run the back-test.
