Portfolio construction • Equal-weight each of the 500 names every day, or weight by (say) their dollar volume share? • What capital base should we assume?

Data availability The current tool suite can retrieve indicators and perform single-ticker or event-driven back-tests, but it does not natively rank thousands of securities by volume each day. • If you already have a file (CSV / JSON) listing, for every trading date, the 500 tickers selected, we can load that file as “execution_signals” and run the performance engine immediately. • If you do not yet have such a file, we would need to build it externally (outside the available tool set) or switch to an approximate proxy (e.g., an ETF that tracks a high-volume basket). Let me know your preferences (especially points 1–3) and whether you can supply the daily 500-ticker list. Once I have that, .
