Okta’s $0.22 Billion Volume Ranks 464th as Shares Trade in Sideways Amid Limited Catalysts

Okta (OKTA) closed on September 26, 2025, with a 0.03% decline, trading at a volume of $0.22 billion, ranking 464th in market activity for the day. The stock’s muted performance reflects limited catalysts in the immediate term, as no material earnings updates or product announcements were reported. Analysts noted the lack of significant news flow as a key factor in the sideways movement.

Recent strategic developments remain centered on the company’s ongoing efforts to expand its identity and access management solutions for enterprise clients. While no new partnerships or regulatory decisions were disclosed, market participants continue to monitor competitive dynamics within the cybersecurity sector, particularly as rivals adjust pricing models and feature sets.

To set up and run this back-test precisely, I need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Universe • Do you want to screen all listed U.S. equities (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX), a specific index constituency (e.g., S&P 500), or another market? 2. Trade timing • Are positions opened at the day’s close and liquidated at the next day’s close (close-to-close), or opened at next day’s open and closed at the same day’s close (open-to-close), or another convention? 3. Weighting scheme • Should the 500 selected stocks be equally weighted, value-weighted by market cap, or by some other rule? 4. Transaction costs / slippage (optional) • Do you want to include an assumed commission or bid-ask slippage? If yes, what rate? 5. Risk controls (optional) • Any stop-loss, take-profit, or maximum drawdown constraint? Let me know your preferences (or tell me to use reasonable defaults) and I’ll proceed with the back-test setup.
