To set up this back-test properly I need to clarify a few practical points: Universe • Do you want to rank all U.S. listed equities each day, or restrict the list to a subset (e.g., the S&P 500 constituents)? Entry / exit prices • Should the strategy buy at today’s close and sell at tomorrow’s close (close-to-close), or buy at tomorrow’s open and sell at tomorrow’s close (open-to-close)? Corporate-action handling • Is it acceptable to use split-/dividend-adjusted prices (standard total-return series)? Transaction costs • Should we assume zero costs, or include a per-trade commission/slippage estimate? With these details confirmed I can generate the exact data-retrieval and back-test workflow.
