To run this back-test accurately I need to clarify a few practical details so I can set the data-gathering and portfolio-construction steps correctly: 1. Universe • Do you want all U.S. listed common stocks, or a narrower universe (e.g., current S&P 500 constituents)? • Should any share classes, ETFs, ADRs, or penny stocks be excluded? 2. Ranking logic & trade timing • The usual convention is: – Rank stocks by the prior trading day’s dollar volume (Price × Volume) or share volume? – Enter positions at the next day’s open and exit at that day’s close (i.e., 1-day holding period). • Is that the execution schedule you intend, or would you prefer “buy at today’s close, sell at tomorrow’s close”? 3. Weighting & capital deployment • Equal-weight each of the 500 names each day, or capital-weight by volume? • Assume full capital is redeployed daily (no cash drag)? 4. Transaction costs & slippage • Should we include a per-trade cost or bid-ask slippage, or assume frictionless trading? Once I have these details I can prepare the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test.
