To run this back-test I need to clarify a few practical details and, if necessary, align on a workable approximation: 1. Universe scope • Do you want all U.S.-listed common stocks (≈ 4,000 tickers) ranked by dollar trading volume each day, or would limiting the universe to a well-defined set (e.g., current S&P 500 constituents) be acceptable? • For markets outside the U.S., please specify the exchanges. 2. Weighting scheme • Should the portfolio be equal-weighted across the 500 names each day, or weighted by (for example) their share of the day’s total dollar volume? 3. Transaction assumptions • Slippage/commission: ignore, or apply a standard assumption? • Trading price: use next day’s open or close for the buy/-sell? 4. Risk controls • None (pure 1-day hold), or add stops / max draw-down caps? Once these points are set I can generate the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test. Let me know your preferences and I’ll proceed.
