To run this study rigorously I need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Universe • Which market(s) should be considered when ranking by daily volume (e.g., all U-listed common stocks, only S&P 500 constituents, a specific exchange such as NYSE + NASDAQ, etc.)? 2. Portfolio construction • Equal-weight across the 500 names, or volume-/capitalisation-weighted? • Buy at today’s close and sell at tomorrow’s close (the most common “1-day hold”) – is that acceptable? 3. Evaluation metric • Do you want the cumulative portfolio return, or statistics such as annualised return, volatility, Sharpe, max drawdown, etc.? 4. Practical constraints • Our current back-testing engine is designed for single-ticker or event-driven studies. Constructing a daily-rebalanced 500-stock portfolio requires a multi-asset engine that isn’t directly exposed here. • If you’re flexible, I can approximate the concept (for example, use an ETF proxy such as the S&P 500 equal-weight index, or run an event study per stock), but that will differ from the precise “top-500-by-volume” rule. Please let me know your preferences on the above points, and I’ll proceed with the best feasible method.
