To run this back-test robustly I need to pin down a few details that aren’t specified yet: 1. Universe • Should the ranking be done on all U.S. common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX), or on a narrower list (e.g., S&P 1500 constituents, Russell 3000, etc.)? • Is any liquidity or price filter (e.g., > $1 share price) required? 2. Ranking metric • Do you want to rank by dollar volume (shares × price) or by share volume? • Should the volume used be “today’s” volume (buy at today’s close) or “yesterday’s” volume (buy at next day’s open)? 3. Portfolio construction • Equal-weight each of the top 500 names, or weight by volume or market‐cap? • Any transaction-cost assumption (e.g., 1 bp per side)? 4. Execution price • Enter at today’s close or next day’s open? (Same for exit one day later.) Once I have this, I can generate the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test.
