L3Harris Surges to 437th in U.S. Volume Rankings After 95% Jump

. , . . equities, reflecting heightened market participation.

The security’s volume spike aligns with broader sector dynamics as defense contractors face renewed focus amid geopolitical tensions. Analysts noted the surge could stem from institutional positioning or capitalizing on the stock’s recent volatility profile.

To make sure the back-test matches exactly what you have in mind, could you please help me confirm a few practical details? Market universe: Should the ranking be applied to all U.S. listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ), or to a narrower universe (e.g., S&P 1500, Russell 3000, etc.)? Trade timing: Rule for entry—rank on today’s trading-volume list and open the position at the next day’s open? Rule for exit—close the position at the same day’s close (i.e., a 1-day holding period)?

Weighting scheme: Equal-weight each of the 500 names, or volume-weighted/market-cap-weighted? Frictional costs: Do you want to include transaction costs (commission + bid-ask slippage)? If unspecified, I can back-test with zero costs and then show a sensitivity table to demonstrate cost impacts. Benchmark (optional): I can compare the strategy to a benchmark such as SPY or equal-weight S&P 500 if requested.
