To run this back-test in a reproducible way I need to pin down a few details that aren’t fully specified yet: 1. Universe • Which market should the “top 500” be drawn from (e.g. all U.S. listed common stocks, only S&P 500 constituents, a specific exchange, etc.)? • Is the universe re-evaluated every trading day (i.e., a fresh top-500 by volume each day)? 2. Trade mechanics • Entry price: today’s close or tomorrow’s open? • Exit price: next day’s close or next day’s open? • Equal-weight each position at entry? • Any transaction-cost or slippage assumptions? 3. Practical constraints • Pulling and ranking daily volume for thousands of tickers is data-heavy. – If you prefer, we can start with a narrower universe (e.g. the Russell 1000) or a smaller top-N (say 50 or 100) to get initial results quickly, and then scale up. – Alternatively, if you already have the daily lists of “top-500” tickers, you can supply them and we can proceed directly with the return calculation. Once these points are set, I can generate the data-retrieval plan and launch the back-test. Let me know your preferences and we’ll move forward.
