Quantum Computing Stock Surges 3.04% on $380M Volume Ranks 331st in Market Activity

Quantum Computing (QUBT) rose 3.04% on October 1, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.38 billion, ranking 331st in market activity. The stock’s movement reflects renewed investor interest in quantum technology amid evolving market dynamics.

For a robust back-test of the “buy the 500 most-actively-traded stocks daily and exit the next day” strategy, critical implementation details must be resolved. Key considerations include defining the universe of stocks (e.g., U.S. equities on major exchanges, ETFs, or SPACs inclusion), rebalancing frequency, position sizing (equal-weight vs. volume-weighted), transaction assumptions (slippage models, fees), capital base, and risk controls. The current back-test engine supports single-ticker analysis but requires external tools or proxy ETFs to simulate multi-asset portfolios.

Alternatives include using a Python research notebook for local execution or approximating the strategy via a high-volume index ETF. Finalizing these parameters will enable precise back-testing and performance evaluation, pending user confirmation on methodology preferences.
