To run this test rigorously I’ll need a few clarifications so that the back-test matches exactly what you have in mind: 1. Universe • Should we limit ourselves to U.S. listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ) or a different market/universe? 2. Weighting of the daily basket • Equal-weight each of the 500 names, or capital-weight them by (say) dollar volume? 3. Trade-price convention • Enter at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close (close-to-close), or enter at tomorrow’s open and exit at tomorrow’s close (overnight gap captured)? 4. Frictional assumptions • Any slippage or per-trade commission you’d like applied? (If nothing special, I’ll assume zero.) Once I have those four points I can generate the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test for the period 2022-01-01 to today.
