To run this type of “top-500-by-volume, 1-day-hold” study we need to clarify—and in some cases simplify—a few practical points: 1. Market universe • U.S. common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX) is typical, but please confirm. 2. Weighting & re-balancing • Equal-weight each day after the close, sell next-day close? 3. Transaction-cost assumptions (commissions, slippage). 4. Data capacity • Our current back-test engine handles one underlying per run; a true 500-stock daily rebalance therefore requires a separate portfolio module that is not yet integrated. • We can still estimate the strategy in two common ways: a) Build an equal-weighted “synthetic index” of the daily top-500 and back-test that index. b) Approximate with a narrower representative set (say top-50) to illustrate behaviour. Let me know your preferences on the four items above and I can set up the most feasible version of the study.
