To run this back-test reliably I need to pin down a few practical details and confirm that our single-ticker back-test engine can accommodate what you have in mind:

1. Universe • Which market(s) should we draw the “top 500 by daily dollar volume” from – U.S. listed equities (NYSE + NASDAQ) or something else? • Should we exclude ETFs, ADRs, preferreds, etc.?

2. Re-balancing convention • Do we form the portfolio at today’s close and liquidate at tomorrow’s close (i.e., next-day close-to-close return), or buy at tomorrow’s open and sell at tomorrow’s close? • Equal-weight each of the 500 names for the 1-day hold?

3. Technical limitation Our current back-test engine evaluates one ticker at a time, so a true 500-stock portfolio can’t be run directly. • If you’re OK with an approximation, we can proxy the strategy by treating the equal-weighted basket as a synthetic index and back-test its daily P&L. • Otherwise we’ll need to break the task into separate steps (return calculation outside the engine, then visualize results).

Let me know your preference (and clarify points 1-2), and I’ll proceed with the appropriate workflow.
