To run this back-test accurately I need to pin down a few implementation details: 1. • Do you want all U.S.-listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + Amex) evaluated each day, or a different equity universe? 2. assumptions • Should we ignore trading costs/slippage, or apply a fee (e.g., 2 bps each side) when we rebalance daily? 3. mechanics • Equal-weight each of the 500 names every day (i.e., 1 / 500 of portfolio per stock)? 4. • Compare the strategy to SPY, or simply report absolute returns? Once I have this information I’ll generate the daily trading signals (open and close lists) and run the back-test from 2022-01-03 to the present.
