The stock closed up 11.33%, securing a position in the top 82 most actively traded equities of the day.

To ensure the back-test aligns precisely with expectations, clarification is needed on several parameters: the specific exchanges to monitor for the “top 500 by trading volume,” weighting methodologies for the selected stocks, entry and exit price rules (e.g., close-to-close or open-to-close), assumptions for transaction costs or slippage, and whether to compare the strategy against a benchmark index. Once these details are confirmed, the back-test can proceed from January 1, 2022, to the current date, providing tailored insights into performance metrics.
