To run this back-test rigorously I need to pin down a few practical details and make sure we structure it in a way the back-testing engine can handle: 1. Universe • Which market do you have in mind – U.S. listed equities only, or global? • Should we exclude micro-caps (e.g., impose a minimum market-cap or price filter) or keep the full universe? 2. Weighting & rebalancing • Equal-weight across the 500 names each day, correct? • Portfolio fully rebalanced every trading day, holding each cohort exactly one day. 3. Data limitations / implementation note Our engine can back-test single-ticker or single-index series natively. • If you’d like the exact cross-sectional portfolio (500 names/day) we can build a custom composite index from the constituent returns and feed that into the engine—but that requires fetching price and volume data for the full universe first (thousands of tickers). • If an approximation is acceptable, we could proxy with an ETF or index representing the most actively traded large-cap stocks (e.g., SPY or an “acute-liquidity” index) and run the one-day hold rotation on that. 4. Benchmark / performance metrics • Any particular benchmark you’d like to compare against (e.g., equal-weighted market, S&P 500, or none)? Let me know your preferences on the above so I can pull the correct data and launch the back-test.
