To execute a back-test for a “top-500-by-volume, 1-day hold” strategy, key design parameters must be defined. These include selecting a universe (e.g., all U.S. listed stocks or a subset like the S&P 500), determining signal timing (e.g., using prior-day volumes for rankings), and execution rules (e.g., equal-weighted positions). Constraints such as daily universe caps and transaction cost assumptions also require clarification to ensure accurate performance metrics.

Once parameters are finalized, the process involves retrieving historical volume and price data, generating daily top-500 lists, and calculating 1-day holding returns. Performance analysis will then be conducted using a back-test engine to evaluate the strategy’s viability under specified conditions.
