Signal & execution timing (to avoid look-ahead bias) • Default: – Rank yesterday’s volume (t-1). – Enter equal-weight positions at today’s open (t). – Exit at today’s close (t). • Alternative: rank same-day volume and trade at the close (requires intraday data and would embed look-ahead). 4. Portfolio construction • Default: equally weight the 500 selected stocks each day. • Alternative: weight by volume or market-cap. 5. Transaction cost assumptions • Default: ignore costs. • Alternative: specify per-trade commission or bid/ask spread estimate. 6. Other risk controls (e.g., max position size, stop-loss) – if any. Please confirm or amend these points, and I’ll proceed to build the data-retrieval and back-testing workflow.
