To run this back-test I need to clarify a few practical details so that the simulation matches your intent as closely as possible:

1. Trading universe • Should we limit the selection to U.S. listed equities (NYSE + NASDAQ) or a different market/universe? • If you already have a universe file or index list you prefer (e.g., Russell 3000 constituents), let me know.

2. Rebalancing mechanics • Equal-weight allocation to each of the 500 names every day? • No leverage and 100 % of capital deployed each day (capital split equally across all holdings)? • Any transaction cost or slippage assumptions you would like applied?

3. Price type for performance calculation (open or close prices). • A common convention for “hold 1 day” is: buy at today’s close, sell at tomorrow’s close. • If you’d rather use open prices instead, please specify.

4. Benchmark (optional) • Would you like the back-test to include a benchmark (e.g., SPY) for comparison?

If the defaults below are acceptable, just say “proceed” and I’ll start pulling the data:

• Universe: All liquid U.S. common stocks (NYSE & NASDAQ) • Allocation: Equal-weight, no leverage, no transaction cost/slippage • Execution: Buy at today’s close, sell at tomorrow’s close • Benchmark: SPY
