To make sure I set up the back-test exactly as you intend, could you please confirm a few details? 1. Market universe • Do you want all U.S. listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ) or a different universe? 2. Signal formation timing • We pick the 500 highest-volume stocks on each trading day. Should the trade be entered at the same day’s close and exited at the next day’s close, or do you prefer open-to-open (or open-to-close) execution? 3. Transaction costs / slippage • Should we include any trading cost assumptions? If you don’t specify, I’ll default to zero so you can see the raw strategy edge first. 4. Benchmark (optional) • Would you like the strategy’s performance compared with a benchmark such as the S&P 500? Once I have these points, I can generate the daily trade signals and run the back-test from 2022-01-01 through today.
