I can certainly help design and evaluate this strategy, but I need to make sure I set it up exactly the way you intend—and that it fits within the capabilities of our current back-test engine (which operates on one security at a time). To move forward efficiently, could you confirm a few details? 1. Universe • Which market universe should the “top-500-by-volume” list be drawn from? – All U.S. listed stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ), only S&P 500 constituents, or something else? 2. Trading convention • Do you intend to: – Buy at today’s close and sell at tomorrow’s close (i.e., 1-day holding period)? – Or buy at tomorrow’s open and sell at tomorrow’s close? – Equal-weight allocation across the 500 names? 3. Practical constraints • Do we ignore transaction costs and slippage, or would you like to include a per-trade cost? • Is there a maximum dollar or percent weight per position you want enforced? 4. Tool-set limitation • Our current engine evaluates one ticker at a time. The usual workaround for a cross-sectional strategy like this is to: a) Generate daily portfolio-level returns off-platform (or with a custom script) and then feed that series to the engine, or b) Define a tradable proxy (e.g., an index or ETF that tracks the 500-high-volume cohort). If you’d like to proceed with option (a), I can guide you on how to supply the daily portfolio return stream so we can still compute full risk/return statistics. Please let me know your preferences on the above, and we’ll get the back-test started right away.
