To run this back-test accurately I’ll need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Universe • Do you want to screen all listed U.S. equities (NYSE + NASDAQ + NYSE ARCA), or a narrower set such as the Russell 3000 or S&P 500 constituents? • If you have a specific country/region other than the U.S. in mind, please let me know. 2. Rebalancing mechanics • Entry: choose the top-500 stocks by that day’s trading volume and buy at the close (then hold overnight), or buy at the next day’s open? • Exit: sell exactly one trading day later at the close (or at the open)? 3. Trading frictions • Should we assume zero transaction costs and perfect liquidity, or would you like to include a per-trade cost/slippage assumption? 4. Benchmark (optional) • Any benchmark you’d like the results compared against (e.g., SPY, equal-weight universe)? With those points confirmed I can generate the daily trade lists and run the portfolio back-test from 2022-01-03 through today.
