To run this back-test I need to make a few practical modelling choices. Unless you’d like something different, I will proceed with the following default assumptions: Universe: all U.S. common stocks listed on NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX. Ranking metric: previous trading day’s dollar volume (shares × close). Each day we sort the universe by that volume and select the top 500 names. Trade execution: Buy the selected list at the same day’s close. Hold for one trading day. Sell at the next day’s close (equal-weight portfolio, rebalanced daily). . Transaction costs and slippage: none (pure gross return). If any of these choices should be changed—e.g., a different market, weight scheme, transaction-cost assumption, or trade at the next open rather than the close—just let me know; otherwise I’ll fetch the data and run the test exactly as outlined.
