To run this cross-sectional strategy rigorously I just need a few clarifications (or I can apply sensible defaults for you): 1. Stock universe • All U.S.–listed common stocks (≈ 3 000 names) • S&P 500 constituents • Another list you prefer 2. Ranking source & timing • Rank by the previous day’s total dollar volume • Execute the buys at the next day’s open and liquidate at that same day’s close (1-day holding period) (This is the most common convention; let me know if you’d rather buy at the close and sell the next day’s close, etc.) 3. Rebalancing frequency • Every trading day (default) – select the top-500 each day If the above defaults are acceptable I’ll proceed automatically; otherwise please let me know your preferred choices and I’ll adjust the back-test accordingly.
