To run this back-test robustly I need to confirm a few practical details: 1. Universe definition • “Top 500 stocks by daily trading volume” – should this be chosen from all U.S. common stocks (≈ 3,000 names) or from a narrower universe (e.g., S&P 1500, constituents)? • Delistings and IPOs: include all names that were trading on each day, or restrict to those that are still listed today? 2. Portfolio construction for each trading day • Equal-weight each of the 500 names (default), or weight by traded dollar volume? • Rebalance every day at the close, then exit at next-day close (i.e., 1-day holding period). Is this the intended trade timing? 3. Frictions • Assume zero commissions/slippage (default), or apply a cost per trade / bid-ask spread estimate? 4. Benchmark (optional) • Compare against SPY, Russell 3000, or no benchmark? Once I have these details I can generate the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test.
