To run this daily-rebalanced "Top-500-by-volume" strategy robustly I need to lock down a couple of practical details: 1. Market / universe • Should we rank all U.S. common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX) or use a narrower list (e.g., S&P 1500, Russell 3000, etc.)? • Do you want ADRs, ETFs and preferred shares filtered out? 2. Execution price • Buy at the next day’s open and sell at the same day’s close (intraday), or • Buy at today’s close and sell at tomorrow’s close? 3.
