To run this back-test robustly I need to pin down a few implementation details: 1. Universe • Should the selection pool be “all listed on NYSE + NASDAQ” (excluding ETFs, ADRs, preferreds, etc.)? • Or do you have a different universe in mind? 2. Daily workflow • Buy at the close of day t and liquidate at the close of day t + 1 (standard one-day holding period)? • Or buy at the next day’s open and sell at that same day’s close? 3. Weighting & cash management • Equal weight across the 500 names each day? • Any restrictions on leverage or overnight cash? 4. Frictions • Commission/slippage assumptions (e.g., 2 bps each side, or ignore)? Once those points are settled I’ll retrieve the necessary volume & price data, generate the daily 500-stock portfolios, and feed the trades into the back-test engine so you’ll get full performance stats (CAGR, max draw-down, hit ratio, etc.). Please let me know your preferences on the above so I can proceed.
