To run this back-test robustly I need to pin down a few implementation details (these determine how the signals are generated and how the returns are calculated): 1. Universe • Do we use all U.S. listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ), or another universe (e.g., only S&P 500 constituents)? 2. Weighting / sizing • Equal-weight each of the 500 names? • Or dollar-weight by their traded value? 3. Execution convention • Enter at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close (classic “hold 1 day” style)? • Or enter at tomorrow’s open and exit at tomorrow’s close? 4. Pricing source • Is using official daily “close” prices acceptable for both entry and exit? 5. Corporate-action handling • OK to use split- and dividend-adjusted prices (standard CRSP/TAQ adjustment)? Once these points are confirmed I can generate the daily selection list (top-500 by volume), build the equal-weighted basket, . Please let me know (1)–(5) so I can proceed.
