To run this back-test properly I’ll need to pin down a few practical details: Universe • Do you want the entire US-listed equity universe (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX), or a specific subset (e.g., S&P 1500 constituents)? Ranking basis • Use the previous trading day’s dollar volume (price × shares traded) to rank stocks? Portfolio construction • Equal-weight the 500 names each day, re-balanced daily, and hold each position one full trading day (open-to-close or close-to-close)? Costs & constraints • Assume zero transaction costs and full investability, or should we add slippage/commissions? Benchmark • Would you like the results compared with any benchmark (e.g., SPY)? Once I have these details I can generate the data-retrieval plan and kick off the back-test.
