, , ranking 386th in market activity. The stock's performance reflects broader retail sector dynamics amid shifting consumer spending patterns and inventory management challenges.

Market participants are closely monitoring management's ability to balance with pricing strategies.

Strategic implementation for volume-based requires clarifying key parameters. A fixed universe approach using S&P 500 constituents would streamline data processing for daily volume rankings. Execution timing—entry at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close—remains the default convention for short-term momentum analysis. Synthetic index construction from equal-weighted returns will enable efficient back-testing of multi-stock baskets within the defined framework.

To run this strategy rigorously we need to do three things: 1. Clarify (and slightly narrow) the investable universe 2. Decide the execution convention 3. Choose a practical implementation route. Please confirm: A) Whether using the current S&P 500 constituent list as the daily ranking pool is acceptable. B) If the entry/exit convention (today’s close ➜ tomorrow’s close) works for you. Once we lock those two points, I’ll generate the data-retrieval plan and move straight into the back-test.
