To run the back-test correctly we need to settle a few practical details that the request doesn’t yet spell out. Please let me know (or confirm my suggested defaults) for the points below, and I’ll launch the test immediately after: 1. Market universe • Do we screen all U.S. common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX) or a different universe? • ADRs, ETFs and preferreds are excluded by default unless you’d like them kept in. 2. Selection timing & execution price • Pick the top-500 names by total shares traded at the close of each day and enter positions at that same close? • Exit all positions at the next day’s close (i.e., 1-day holding period). (If you prefer open-to-open or close-to-open implementation, let me know.) 3. Weighting & sizing • Equal-weight each of the 500 stocks (default) or volume-weighted / cap-weighted? • Reinvest 100% of capital every day (default). 4. Costs & frictions • Default: zero commissions, zero slippage. • If you’d like fixed per-trade costs or basis-point slippage included, please specify. 5. Benchmark • Use SPY as the reference benchmark unless another index is preferred. Once these are confirmed (or adjusted), I’ll fetch the daily volume data, build the daily trade list and run the complete back-test from 2022-01-03 (first trading day of 2022) through today.
