To run this back-test with professional rigor I need to lock down a few practical details that are not yet specified: 1. Universe • I will assume all U.S. common stocks (active & delisted) since 2022-01-03. • If you prefer a specific universe (e.g., S&P 1500, Russell 3000, NASDAQ-listed only, etc.) let me know. 2. Trade timing convention • Standard approach is “buy at today’s close, sell at tomorrow’s close” (1-day holding period). • Please confirm if you would rather use open-to-open, close-to-open, etc. 3. Position weighting & sizing • Equal-weight across the 500 names (i.e., 0.2 % per position) is typical. • Any alternative (e.g., liquidity-weighted, volume-proportional) you’d like? 4. Costs & slippage • Default is zero explicit costs. I can include per-share or percentage commissions / slippage if you specify. 5. Benchmark • I’ll report absolute performance; if you also need relative performance vs. SPY (or another benchmark) please specify. Once these five items are confirmed I will pull the necessary data and run the test.
