To run this back-test accurately we’ll need to pin down a few practical details about the rule and the universe, because the tool-set can only execute it once these items are clear. Market universe options include all U.S. listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX) or a different universe (e.g., only S&P 500 names). The volume ranking metric can be based on share volume (number of shares traded) or dollar volume (shares × price). Re-balancing mechanics require clarification on whether to buy at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close (typical “hold 1 day” rule) or other entry/exit timing. Transaction-cost assumptions may include commission/slippage per trade or ignore costs. If the default approach is acceptable—universe: all tradable U.S. common stocks, rank by share volume at the close, enter at the same day’s close, exit at the next day’s close, no transaction costs—please confirm or amend accordingly to launch the data retrieval and back-test.
