At the moment, the integrated back-testing tools available in this workspace are designed to evaluate one ticker at a time (or to assess the effect of a specific event on a single ticker). Your requested strategy—re-selecting 500 different tickers each day based on their trading volume—falls outside that single-ticker framework. To move forward, we have a few options: 1. Approximate the idea with a representative index or ETF. 2. Narrow the scope to a specific ticker (or a handful of tickers). 3. Export the full historical volume ranks externally and feed daily "trade lists" back in. Please let me know which path you’d prefer for the relevant back-test setup.
