To set up this back-test properly I need to confirm a few practical details that aren’t fully specified yet: 1. Universe definition • Should I use all U.S. common stocks and ADRs listed on NYSE / NASDAQ / AMEX, or a different market universe? • Do you want to filter out penny stocks (e.g., price < 1 USD) or other exclusions (SPACs, ETFs, etc.)? 2. Trade execution assumptions • Entry price: same-day close, or next-day open? • Exit price after one-day hold: next-day close (typical), or next-day open? • Slippage / commissions: assume zero, or apply a specific cost per trade? 3. Weighting method • Equal-weight the 500 names each day, or weight by normalized volume, dollar-volume, etc.? 4. Risk controls • Any stop-loss, maximum drawdown, or other constraints, or simply the raw one-day-hold performance? Once these items are clarified I can build the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test for you.
