Universe definition • "Top 500 stocks by daily trading volume" can be defined across the whole U.S. equity market, or within a specific universe (e.g., S&P 500 constituents, NASDAQ-listed shares, etc.). • Collecting and ranking the entire market’s volume each day is data-intensive; if you have a preferred universe, please specify it so I can keep the retrieval efficient and transparent. 2. Holding-period mechanics • The rule is: at the close of day t, buy all stocks whose dollar-volume ranks in the top 500 of the chosen universe; sell them at the next day’s close (holding period = 1 trading day). • Positions are rebalanced daily.
