To run this back-test accurately I need to pin down a few practical details: Universe • Do you want to consider all U.S. common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX), or a narrower list (e.g., S&P 500 constituents, Russell 3000, etc.)? • Should ETFs, ADRs, preferreds or OTC names be included/excluded? Rebalancing definition • “Hold 1 day” – should we: a) Buy at today’s close, sell at tomorrow’s close (close-to-close return), or b) Buy at tomorrow’s open, sell at tomorrow’s close (open-to-close return)? Transaction costs / slippage • Do you want to model commissions or assume friction-less trading? Capital weighting • Equal weight across the 500 names each day, or volume-weighted / dollar-volume-weighted? Once I have these clarifications I can generate the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test for you.
