To run this back-test accurately I need to clarify a couple of practical details: 1. Market universe • Do you want to screen all U.S. listed common stocks, or limit the universe (e.g., only the S&P 500 constituents, only NASDAQ stocks, etc.)? • If you have a ready-made list of tickers (or an index/ETF that represents “top-volume” stocks) please let me know; otherwise I will assemble the universe from all primary-listed U.S. common shares. 2. Trade price and execution assumption • Enter at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close (close-to-close)? • Or enter at tomorrow’s open and exit at tomorrow’s close (close-to-open-to-close)? 3. Transaction costs • Should we include an estimated commission/slippage, or assume zero? Once those points are settled, I can generate the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test.
