To implement your idea precisely we need to know two practical details that your request doesn’t explicitly specify: 1. Universe definition – “All stocks” can mean all U.S.-listed common shares (~4,000-5,000 tickers) or a narrower universe (e.g., S&P 1500, Russell 3000, NASDAQ + NYSE only, etc.). The broader the universe, the heavier the data retrieval workload and the longer the back-test runtime. 2. Selection timing logic – Option A – At today’s close we rank the day’s trading-volume, then buy the top-500 at tomorrow’s open and sell them at tomorrow’s close (typical realistic implementation because you know today’s volume only after the close). Option B – Rank on the same day and buy at the same day’s close, sell at next day’s close (requires assuming intraday knowledge of final volume). Please let me know: • Which universe you’d like to use (e.g., “all U.S. common stocks,” “Russell 3000,” “S&P 500,” etc.). • Whether Option A or Option B better matches your intent. Once I have those two clarifications I can fetch the required data, build the daily selection list, and run the back-test from 2022-01-01 through today.
