To run this back-test rigorously I need to pin down a few implementation details and confirm the scope, because the engine we invoke has to know exactly how to turn your trading rule into day-by-day buy/sell instructions. Market universe: Do you want the entire U.S. listed equity universe (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX), or a narrower list (e.g., S&P 1500 constituents)? Ranking metric: “Daily trading volume” — confirm this is share volume (not dollar turnover). Trade timing: Typical approach is to rank yesterday’s volume after the close, buy the 500 names at the next day’s open, and exit those positions at that day’s close (1-day holding period). Is that the schedule you have in mind? Weighting & capital: Equal-weight each stock? Frictions: Commission / fees assumptions (e.g., ? Slippage model (if any). Practical note on tooling: Our built-in back-test engine is single-instrument, so to replicate a 500-stock basket we need to generate and aggregate 500 sets of trade P&Ls each day. That’s feasible but requires the confirmations above so I can script the correct data pulls and computations. Once I have these points confirmed I can prepare the data-retrieval plan, pull the required volume and price series, and feed the aggregated daily P&Ls into the performance engine for the overall strategy return curve.
