I understand you’d like to evaluate a daily-rebalanced, 500-stock, equal-weight portfolio that is formed each day by selecting the names with the highest trading volume and holding them for one trading session (buy today, exit tomorrow), spanning 2022-01-01 through today. At the moment, the toolset that’s available inside this workspace can back-test single-ticker strategies or single-ticker event effects; it does not yet support cross-sectional ranking strategies that simultaneously trade hundreds of stocks. To move forward, we have a couple of options: 1. Approximate the idea with a single security (e.g., an ETF such as SPY, RSP, or another index proxy) and examine a one-day holding rule around high-volume events for that ticker. 2. Select one or a handful of specific tickers you’re most interested in, and test how a one-day “high-volume” signal works for them individually. 3. Wait until a multi-asset portfolio back-test module is available. Please let me know which route you’d prefer, or if there’s another way you’d like to adapt the request.
