Weighting & execution assumptions • Should the 500 names be equally-weighted at the open, then fully liquidated at the next day’s close? • Any position-level limits, slippage, or transaction-cost assumptions you want applied? 3. Tooling limitation to be aware of Our back-test engine currently evaluates one underlying at a time. – If you need a true multi-stock, equal-weighted portfolio we can pre-compute daily portfolio returns off-platform and feed those as a synthetic "price series" into the engine. – Alternatively, we could proxy the strategy with a single, liquid ETF or index if that satisfies your use-case. Let me know how you’d like to proceed (and any preferences for the above items), and I’ll build the retrieval and back-test workflow accordingly.
