To run this back-test accurately we need to make sure a few practical details are clear, because the implementation depends on them: Universe • Should we consider all actively-traded U.S. common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX) or a narrower universe (e.g., constituents of the S&P 500)? • ADRs, ETFs and penny stocks—should they be included or filtered out? Ranking & execution timing • The usual approach is: - On day t we rank stocks by the DAY t volume (known only after the close). - We open the positions at the next day’s (t + 1) open, hold until the close of t + 1, then rebalance. • If you prefer “same-day” execution (buy at today’s close after today’s volume is known), let me know. Transaction costs / slippage • Shall we ignore them, or assume a default (e.g., 5 bp one-way)? Data coverage • Start date: 2022-01-03 (first trading day of 2022). • End date: today (2025-09-19). • Daily OHLCV data will be required for every stock in the chosen universe. With your confirmation (or any adjustments) I can proceed to: • Pull the daily volume and price data for the universe. • Generate the daily top-500 list and the corresponding portfolio P&L series. • Run the back-test (equal-weight, 1-day holding period) and return performance statistics and visualizations. Please let me know your preferences on the four points above, and I’ll get the back-test started right away.
