To run this back-test robustly I need a little more detail: 1. Universe • Do you want to screen the entire U.S. equity market (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX) each day, or a different universe (e.g., only S&P 500 constituents, only NASDAQ stocks, a single exchange, etc.)? 2. Execution price & timing • Buy at today’s close and sell at tomorrow’s close (close-to-close)? • Or buy at next day open and sell at next day close (close-to-open)? 3. Portfolio construction • Equal-weight the 500 names each day, or weight by dollar volume / market cap? 4. Trading frictions • Should we include estimated transaction costs or slippage, or assume frictionless trading? 5. Performance metric • Show cumulative portfolio equity curve and standard stats (CAGR, max drawdown, Sharpe), or anything else? Once I have these points confirmed I can build the retrieval plan and run the back-test.
