I understand you’d like to evaluate a daily-rebalanced “Top-500-by-volume” portfolio held for one trading day from 2022-01-01 through today. At the moment, the back-test engine I can invoke is designed for single-ticker or single-event evaluation. Building and rebalancing a portfolio of 500 dynamically changing tickers each day involves multi-asset data handling that falls outside the current one-ticker framework. To proceed, we have two practical options: 1. Narrow the scope to a single, liquid proxy security (for instance an ETF that represents a broad universe, such as SPY) and test the “1-day hold after high-volume day” effect on that instrument alone. 2. Define a different question that can be expressed in a single-ticker/event format (for example: “Whenever ticker XYZ’s daily volume ranks in the market’s top decile, buy and hold it for one day.”) Please let me know which direction you’d like to take, or if there’s another way you’d like to refine the test.
