To ensure the back-test aligns with your requirements, clarification is needed on three key parameters: (1) the stock universe definition—whether to use broad U.S. equity indices or a custom ticker list; (2) the execution convention, such as “next-open to next-close” or “close-to-close” strategies; and (3) transaction cost assumptions, including commission rates or filters for market capitalization. Once confirmed, the back-test framework can be finalized and executed.
