To make sure I set up the test exactly the way you want—and keep the results meaningful—could you confirm a couple of points? 1. Universe Which market or exchange should I scan each day for the “top-500-by-volume” list? • All U.S.–listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX)? • Another region or a predefined universe? 2. Trade price convention Do you want to: • Enter at that day’s close and exit at the next day’s close, or • Enter at next day’s open and exit at next day’s close? 3. Transaction costs & slippage Should we assume zero costs, or apply a default (e.g., 2 bp per side)? 4. Portfolio construction Our current back-test engine handles one ticker at a time. • If you want the exact equal-weighted 500-stock portfolio, I can prepare the signals and run a portfolio-level engine outside this interface, then import the results for you. • Alternatively, we could back-test a representative ETF (e.g., SPY) or a custom basket created from the top-volume list, though that is only an approximation. Let me know your preferences and I’ll proceed immediately.
