To run this back-test properly I need to pin down a few practical details and make sure the test fits within our tool set: 1. Market universe • Do you want all primary-listed U.S. equities (NYSE + NASDAQ), or another market? 2. Pricing convention • Buy at today’s close and sell tomorrow’s close (close-to-close), or buy at tomorrow’s open and sell tomorrow’s close (open-to-close)? 3. Portfolio construction details • Equal-weight the 500 names each day, rebalancing daily? • Or weight by traded dollar volume? 4. Benchmark / reference series • Would you like SPY (S&P 500 ETF) as the benchmark, or something else? Once I have these clarifications I can build the data-retrieval plan and launch the back-test.
