The current back-test tools in this workspace are designed for a single security (ticker) at a time, rather than for a dynamic, 500-stock portfolio that changes every day. To proceed without compromising the integrity of the analysis, could you let me know which of the following approaches you would prefer? 1. Approximate the strategy with a liquid, broad-market ETF (for example, SPY, VTI or another of your choice) as a proxy for “buying the market” each day. 2. Select a single high-volume stock (or a small fixed basket that you specify), so we can demonstrate the one-day-hold logic on that subset. 3.

Please let me know which option (or alternative) fits your needs so we can continue.
