I’m afraid the current back-test engine can only evaluate a single instrument (or a single list of dates for one instrument) at a time. Your idea—each day buying an equal-weight basket of the 500 most actively traded U.S. stocks and closing the position the next day—requires a cross-sectional portfolio simulation that the built-in tools do not yet support. Two practical ways forward: 1. Narrow the scope so it matches what the engine can handle—for example • a single ticker or ETF (e.g., SPY) traded by a rule you specify, or • an “event study” on how one stock behaves on the days it appears in the top-volume list. 2. Export the raw data (daily volume for the full U.S. universe) and run a custom back-test in an external environment (Python, R, etc.). I can help you generate the data files you’d need. Please let me know which route you’d like to take, or if you have another idea I can assist with.
