To set up an accurate back-test there are a few practical details we need to pin down first. I can assume sensible defaults for you, but please glance at the list below and let me know if anything should be changed. 1. Market universe • Default I will use: all U.S. common stocks listed on NYSE + NASDAQ that have been active since 2022-01-01. • Alternative: a specific index constituent list (e.g., current S&P 500), or a different exchange universe. 2. Selection rule (ranking day vs. execution day) • Default I will rank stocks on each day t by their end-of-day trading volume, then open the positions at the next day’s (t+1) open price. • Holding period: close all positions at the end of day t+1 (1 full trading day). 3. Position sizing • Default: equal-weight across the 500 stocks selected each day (rebalance daily). 4. Transaction cost / slippage assumptions • Default: zero, for a pure strategy-return view. If you’d like to include costs, please specify (e.g., 2 bp per trade). 5. Price series to use for entry/exit • Default: open price for entry, close price for exit. If the defaults are acceptable, just let me know and I’ll start the data-gathering and back-test run. Otherwise, tell me which items you’d like to modify.
