To run a robust back-test we need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Market universe • Is the universe all U.S. common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX) or another exchange/region? • Do we keep ADRs, ETFs and closed-end funds, or exclude them? 2. Ranking rule & trade timing • We rank each trading day by that day’s dollar volume (shares × price) or by share turnover? • Do we buy the 500 names at the close of the same day the ranking is done and exit at the next day’s close (i.e., 1-day holding period)? • Or do we buy at next day’s open and exit at next day’s close? 3. Portfolio construction • Equal-weight all 500 names each day? • Rebalance completely each day (i.e., sell yesterday’s basket, buy today’s)? 4. Frictions • Assume zero commissions/slippage, or apply a cost (e.g., 5 bp per trade)? With those points confirmed I can lay out the exact data retrieval plan, pull the daily dollar-volume ranks, generate the trading signals and run the back-test.
