To run this back-test robustly I need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Stock universe • “All US common stocks” (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX) is typical – is that what you have in mind? • Or did you want a different market/universe? 2. Ranking & execution timing • The daily trading-volume rank is only known after the market closes. • Common practice is therefore: Day t-1 Rank stocks by that day’s volume (top 500). Day t Buy them at the open, exit at the next day’s open (1-trading-day hold). • Is that execution schedule acceptable, or do you prefer close-to-close, open-to-close, etc.? 3. Position sizing • Equal-weight each stock (i.e., 1/500 of the portfolio per name) is the usual default. OK? 4. Transaction costs / slippage • Should we include, say, 5 bp per leg to approximate costs, or ignore them? Once I have these details I can build the retrieval plan and run the back-test.
