The current tool-set can only back-test one security (or index/ETF) at a time and it can’t yet run a daily-rebalanced, 500-stock portfolio strategy straight out of the box. Before I try to engineer a workaround, could you clarify which of the following options would best satisfy your objective? 1. Treat the universe as a single, liquid index or ETF proxy (for example, use SPY or another broad ETF) and simply check the buy-and-hold-for-1-day performance of that proxy. 2. Supply (or let me supply) a specific list of tickers you want to include so I can run the same 1-day hold logic on each ticker separately and then aggregate the results. 3. Postpone the fully automated test for now and instead look at an illustrative sample (e.g., the 50 most actively traded names) so I can show you how the methodology would work on a subset. Let me know which path you’d like to take, or if there’s another approach you prefer.
