To run this back-test rigorously, define the universe (e.g., U.S. listed stocks), portfolio construction (e.g., equal weighting, rebalancing frequency), and benchmarks (e.g., SPY). Practical constraints include data availability for a 500-stock portfolio over three years. Specify preferences for transaction-cost assumptions and risk metrics to proceed with accurate implementation.
