The Trade Desk Stock Plunges 3.20% as $640M Volume Ranks 210th Amid Ad-Spending Shifts

The stock of The Trade Desk (TTD) closed down 3.20% on October 10, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.64 billion, ranking it 210th in dollar volume among listed equities. The decline came amid mixed market conditions and sector-specific pressures affecting digital advertising platforms.

Analysts noted that the selloff reflected broader concerns over macroeconomic signals and potential shifts in advertiser spending patterns. While the company has historically benefited from high-volume trading days, recent volatility highlights sensitivity to broader market corrections rather than company-specific fundamentals.

Regarding the back-test framework: To execute the strategy accurately, clarification is needed on two key parameters. First, the universe definition—whether to include all U.S.-listed equities daily or use S&P 500 constituents for practical data access. Second, portfolio construction rules—specifically, whether entry/exit prices should use closing or opening prices across sessions. These details will determine the methodology for generating daily trading signals from January 2022 to the present.
