To run this back-test rigorously I need to pin down a few practical details that aren’t in your brief yet: 1. Universe – do we scan all U.S. listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ + Arca) or a specific index (e.g., Russell 3000), or another market? 2. Ranking metric – “daily trading volume” measured in shares traded, or dollar value traded? 3. Execution convention – because the day’s volume isn’t known until the close, the usual workflow is Day t: identify the top-500 names after the market closes. Day t+1: buy them at the next day’s open, hold one full session, sell at the close of Day t+1. Is that acceptable? 4. Weighting – equal weight (1/500 each) or proportional to volume? 5. Universe maintenance costs – should we include $0 commissions and zero/slippage (idealised), or add a bid-ask/impact assumption? If you’d like me to apply standard defaults (U.S. listed universe, share volume, equal-weight portfolio, T+1 open entry / close exit, zero costs) just let me know and I can proceed immediately.
