Oklo's Stock Surges 11.10% as Trading Volume Soars 68.56% to Rank 22nd in U.S. Equity Volume

On October 2, 2025, Oklo (OKLO) surged 11.10% to close the session, with a trading volume of $3.52 billion—marking a 68.56% increase from the previous day and ranking it 22nd in volume among listed equities. The stock’s performance drew attention amid broader market volatility, as investors focused on its strategic positioning in the clean energy sector.

Recent developments highlighted Oklo’s progress in advancing its advanced nuclear reactor technology, with key milestones achieved in regulatory approvals and partnerships. Analysts noted that the company’s ability to secure long-term supply agreements and demonstrate operational scalability could underpin sustained investor interest. However, market participants remained cautious about near-term cost pressures and technical challenges inherent to its reactor deployment timeline.

To run this back-test rigorously I need to clarify a few practical details: 1. Universe of stocks—Should I use all U.S.–listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + NYSE Arca) or a different universe (e.g., China A-shares, Europe, etc.)? ADRs, ETFs and other non-common shares—include or exclude? 2. Re-balancing mechanics—Entry price: buy the 500 names at the close of the ranking day, or at the following session’s open? Exit price after holding “1 day”: sell at the next session’s close, or at its open? 3. Transaction assumptions—Slippage / commissions to include? (If you don’t specify, I’ll assume zero.) 4. Benchmark (optional)—Any particular benchmark you’d like the results compared with (e.g., S&P 500)? Once I have these details I can generate the daily trading signals and run the back-test for 2022-01-01 through today.
