To run this back-test robustly, key parameters require clarification: universe scope (e.g., S&P 1500 vs. Russell 3000), ranking methodology (raw vs. dollar volume), rebalancing frequency (daily vs. overnight), and cost assumptions (transaction fees or slippage). Default settings include equal-weighted portfolios, previous-day pricing, and SPY as benchmark. Specify adjustments for final execution.
