To run this back-test properly we need to know a few extra details: 1. Universe definition • Do you want to rank all U.S.–listed common stocks (≈4,000 names) every day, or a narrower universe such as the constituents of the S&P 1500 / Russell 3000? • Should ADRs, ETFs and penny stocks be excluded? 2. Portfolio construction rule • Equal-weight each of the top-500 names every day (i.e., 1 / 500 position size), or weight by something else (e.g., volume-weighted or market-cap-weighted)? • Trading price: use the next day’s open, or same-day close-to-close? 3. Practical constraints • Our current back-test engine evaluates one security (or one basket index) at a time. • We can either (a) construct a daily “synthetic index” of the top-500-by-volume basket and test that, or (b) test the rule per-stock as an event study. The synthetic-index approach is usually the most informative. Please let me know your preference (especially the universe definition and weighting), and I’ll set up the data retrieval and run the back-test.
