To design an accurate back-test I need a bit more detail about the set-up you have in mind: 1. Market universe • Do you want to rank the full U.S. equity market (all common stocks on NYSE / NASDAQ / AMEX), or a narrower list such as the S&P 1500 constituents? 2. Execution price • Enter at the day’s close and exit at the next day’s close (close-to-close returns), or enter at next day’s open and exit at that same day’s close (close-to-open-to-close)? 3. Cash management • Equal-weight across the 500 names each day, or value-weighted by dollar volume? 4. Trading frictions • Should we subtract estimated commissions/slippage, or assume frictionless execution? Once I have these parameters, I can generate the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test for 2022-01-01 to today.
