To run this back-test accurately I need a few extra details and a small clarification about scope: 1. Universe • Do you want to use all U.S.–listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + NYSE Arca) or another market/universe? 2. Trade mechanics • Rebalancing frequency: “hold 1 day” — should the portfolio be formed at TODAY’s close and liquidated at TOMORROW’s close (close-to-close P&L), or open-to-open, or some other convention? • Position sizing: equal-weight across the 500 names each day? • Transaction costs/slippage: ignore, or apply specific costs? 3.

I can either: a) Construct a custom script (outside the built-in engine) to approximate the portfolio-level return; or b) Narrow the request (e.g., compare a high-volume ETF or an index proxy). Let me know which universe and assumptions you prefer, and I’ll proceed with the most suitable approach.
