Fluor Corp's 5.14% Surge Drives $340M Volume Ranks 457th in Active U.S. Stock Trading

Fluor Corp. . 19, , , . stocks. The jump in liquidity and price momentum suggests heightened investor interest, though no specific catalysts were disclosed in the provided materials.

The stock’s performance aligns with broader short-term trading dynamics, as high-volume days often reflect technical strategies or institutional activity. However, the absence of sector-specific news or earnings updates for FLR means the move is likely driven by algorithmic flows or broader market sentiment rather than fundamental developments.

To run a rigorous back-test of “buy the 500 highest-volume stocks each day, hold them for one trading day” we need a few extra details that aren’t fully specified yet. Could you please confirm (or adjust) the following so I can set up the data-collection and back-test engine correctly?

1. Market universe • Default assumption: all common stocks listed on NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX. • If you have a different universe (e.g., only S&P 500, only U.S. large-caps, global equities, etc.) just let me know.

2. Volume definition • Dollar volume (price × shares traded) – most common for liquidity screens. • Share volume – an alternative. Which would you like me to use?

3. Trade price & timing • Typical implementation: – Select the top-500 by volume at the market close on day t. – Enter at the next day’s open (t+1 open). – Exit at the same day’s close (t+1 close). • Your instruction said “holds them for 1 day.” Please confirm the entry/exit convention you prefer (close-to-close, open-to-close, open-to-open, etc.).

4. Transaction costs & slippage • If you have a cost assumption (e.g., 3 bp per side) let me know; otherwise I’ll default to zero so we see the raw strategy edge first.

5. Data vendor / survivorship bias • My default is to pull a survivorship-bias-free universe (including delisted tickers) if available. If you have other requirements, please specify.

Once I have these parameters, I’ll generate the data-retrieval plan, fetch the necessary daily volume and price data, build the daily portfolios, . Let me know your preferences and I’ll proceed immediately.
