To run this back-test rigorously we need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Universe • Should we look at all U.S. listed common stocks (≈4,000 names) or a defined subset (e.g., Russell 3000)? 2. Ranking day & execution mechanics • Typical approach: each evening we sort the previous day’s trading-volume, buy the top-500 at next day’s open, and sell them at that day’s close (1-day hold). Does that match your intent? 3. Portfolio construction • Equal-weight each of the 500 names, or weight by volume / market-cap? 4. Platform constraint • Our current back-testing engine evaluates one ticker at a time. For a 500-stock daily portfolio we have two options: a) Build a custom portfolio back-tester (longer setup). b) Approximate with an ETF or index that already tracks the most liquid names (e.g., SPY or an equal-weight large-cap ETF). Please let me know your preferences (especially items 1-3) or if an ETF-based approximation is acceptable. Once confirmed I’ll configure the test and show the results.
