To run this back-test rigorously I need a few extra details: 1. Universe • Which market(s) should be scanned each day for the “top-500 by trading volume”? – e.g., all U.S. common stocks, or only S&P 500 constituents, or another list? 2. Trading convention • Do we open the position at that day’s close and exit at the next day’s close (close-to-close), or some other price (e.g., next day’s open)? • Equal-weighting each of the 500 names OK? • Any transaction-cost assumption? Once these are settled I can build the daily volume screen, generate the buy/hold signals and run the back-test from 2022-01-03 to today.
