I understand the strategy you have in mind: • Every trading day, rank the entire stock universe by that day’s dollar-trading-volume (or share volume), • Go long the top 500 names at the next day’s open (or close), • Close all positions after exactly one trading day, • Measure aggregate portfolio performance from 2022-01-03 through today. At present, the back-testing tools available in this chat environment can only evaluate strategies on a single ticker or on event dates supplied per ticker. They do not yet support a dynamic, cross-sectional portfolio that re-selects hundreds of tickers each day. To move forward, we have a couple of practical options: 1. Approximate the idea with a static high-liquidity universe (e.g., the S&P 500 or Russell 1000) and back-test a daily equal-weight rotation within that fixed list. 2. Focus on a representative ETF whose holdings concentrate in the most actively traded names (e.g., SPY or VTI) and back-test a 1-day hold strategy on that single instrument. 3. Export the detailed data and run a custom cross-sectional back-test offline (outside this chat), then bring the results back for interpretation. Please let me know which direction (or any other) you’d like to pursue, and I’ll proceed accordingly.
