To ensure we back-test this strategy exactly the way you intend, could you please help me confirm a few implementation details? 1. Universe • Do you want to use all U.S. common stocks (NASDAQ + NYSE) as the selection pool, or a different universe (e.g., only S&P 500 constituents)? 2. Signal formation & execution timing • Should “top 500 by daily trading volume” be determined using the prior day’s volume, then positions opened at the next day’s market open and closed at that day’s close? • Or would you prefer buy at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close (T+1)? 3. Position sizing • Equal-weight allocation across the 500 names each day? 4. Transaction costs & slippage • Should we ignore them (pure gross return), or apply, say, 5 bp per side?
