The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day from 2022 to now delivered moderate returns. The CAGR was 6.98%, with a maximum drawdown of 15.59% during the backtest period. The strategy demonstrated steady growth over time, making it a robust choice for investors seeking consistent returns. However, the significant drawdown in mid-2023 highlights the importance of risk management in high-volume trading strategies.
