A backtested strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day from 2022 to 2025 yielded a profit of $2,385.14, with steady growth despite short-term fluctuations. This suggests that high-volume trading activity can generate moderate returns over time, though market volatility remains a factor.
