To run this back-test rigorously I need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Universe • Which market(s) should the stock pool come from – e.g. all U.S. common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ), a particular index constituency list, or another exchange/region? 2. Volume definition • “Top 500” ranked by: – Daily shares traded, or – Daily dollar volume (shares × price)? 3. Rebalancing rule • Do we pick the top-500 based on yesterday’s trading volume, enter at today’s open, and exit at today’s close (a 1-day holding period), or some other timing convention? 4. Transaction cost assumption • Zero cost, or a specific commission/slippage per trade? 5. Output format • Besides overall return and draw-down, any additional metrics (e.g. Sharpe ratio, turnover) you’d like to see? Once these are clarified I’ll generate the data-retrieval plan and run the full back-test.
