To run this back-test rigorously I need to pin down a few implementation details: 1. Market universe • Are we talking about U.S. listed equities only, or a different market? • Should we exclude ETFs, ADRs, penny stocks, etc.? 2. Ranking methodology • “Top 500 by daily trading volume” – do you want to rank by - share volume (shares traded) or - dollar volume (shares × price)? • The ranking date/time – should we use the previous day’s data (so we can enter the trades at the next day’s open), or use same-day volume and assume we trade at the close? 3. Execution price • Enter at next day’s open, or same day’s close? • Exit after exactly one full trading session (i.e., sell at the following session’s close)? 4. Weighting & capital allocation • Equal-weight across the 500 names each day, or weight by volume / market-cap, etc.? • Any position limits or maximum notional per stock? Once these items are set I can construct the daily portfolio and run the return & risk analysis from 2022-01-03 through today. Let me know your preferences (or if you’d like recommended defaults) and I’ll proceed.
