Market participants observed a modest decline in trading intensity for The, with volume dropping sharply from the preceding session.

To run this back-test accurately, I need to clarify two practical details that affect how we set up the data pull and the back-testing engine: (1) Market universe—specifically, which exchange(s) should be used to generate the “top-500-by-volume” list each day; and (2) Portfolio construction rules, including whether the daily top-500 should be treated as an equally-weighted portfolio rebuilt daily or if alternative weighting methodologies are required. These parameters will determine the validity of the historical performance analysis.
