To run this back-test accurately I need to pin down a few key details: 1. Universe • Do you want to scan every U.S. exchange-listed common stock each day, or limit the search (e.g., S&P 1500 constituents)? • ADRs, ETFs, SPACs and penny stocks – include or exclude? 2. Trade execution assumptions • Entry price: next day’s open or same day’s close after the volume ranking is known? • Exit price: same-day close (intraday) or next day’s close (i.e., hold overnight one full session)? • Any transaction cost/slippage to apply? 3. Position sizing • Equal-weight across the 500 names, or weight by dollar volume / market cap? If you’re happy to accept reasonable defaults (full U.S. common-stock universe, equal-weight, buy next-day open, sell same-day close, zero transaction costs), let me know and I’ll proceed with the data retrieval and back-test.
