To run this back-test rigorously we need to pin down a few implementation details: 1. Universe • Which market do you want to draw the "top-500 by volume" from? – All U.S. common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + ARCA)? – A specific index universe (e.g., Russell 3000, S&P 1500, etc.)? 2. Weighting & re-balancing • I will assume an equal-weight allocation to the 500 selected names, re-balanced every trading day after selection. • Confirm if equal weight is acceptable or specify another weighting rule. 3. Transaction costs • Should we include commissions, bid-ask spread, or assume frictionless trading? • If you have a preferred round-trip cost (e.g., 5 bps per buy and 5 bps per sell) please let me know. 4. Benchmark (optional) • Would you like the results compared against a benchmark such as SPY or remain standalone? Once these points are clarified I’ll retrieve the required data and run the back-test from 2022-01-03 (first trading day of 2022) through the latest available date
