To build a rigorous back-test for “buy the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume, hold for one trading day, from 2022-01-01 to today”, I need to confirm a few practical details so I can set up the data retrieval and modelling pipeline correctly: 1. Market universe • US-listed equities (NYSE + NASDAQ), or another market? • Should we exclude ETFs, ADRs, penny stocks, etc.? 2. Weighting & rebalancing • Equal-weight each of the 500 names chosen every day (the standard approach)? • Rebalance daily (sell yesterday’s basket at the next day’s open/close and buy today’s basket)? 3. Price & timing conventions • Buy at today’s close and sell at tomorrow’s close (close-to-close)? • Or open-to-open / close-to-open? • Any transaction cost assumption? 4. Benchmark (optional) • Compare against SPY, or just report absolute returns? 5. Output format • Full performance stats & equity curve are available; would you like the interactive chart embedded? Once I have these details I can build the data-query plan, fetch the volume rankings, generate daily baskets, and run the back-test.
