Market universe: Should the “top 500 stocks” be chosen from all U.S. listed equities, or from a narrower group (e.g., S&P 1500, Russell 3000, etc.)? 2. Weighting & sizing: Equal-weight across the 500 names, or volume-weighted / value-weighted? Any leverage or cash buffer? 3. Execution price: Enter at the day’s close and exit at the next day’s close, or enter at the next day’s open and exit at that same day’s close? 4. Transaction costs & slippage: Should I apply any commission or slippage assumptions? If yes, please specify. 5. Risk controls: Stop-loss, take-profit, position limits, or other constraints? 6. Benchmark (optional): Is there a particular benchmark you’d like the results compared with (e.g., S&P 500)?
