To execute the back-test accurately, clarification is required on the following parameters: (1) universe scope (e.g., S&P 500 constituents or broader markets), (2) weighting methodology (equal-weighted or alternative rules), (3) entry/exit timing (close-to-close or open-to-close), (4) cost assumptions (transaction fees or slippage), and (5) data range confirmation (January 1, 2022–October 7, 2025). The output will include daily equity curves, CAGR, max drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and visual performance analysis. The strategy will be modeled as an equal-weighted synthetic index for back-testing compatibility.
