I understand what you’re aiming to test, but—at the moment—the built-in back-testing tools here are designed for single-ticker or single-event studies, not for constructing and rebalancing a 500-stock portfolio that changes every trading day. Daily “top-500-by-volume” selection is essentially a custom cross-sectional strategy, which would require broader market data and portfolio construction logic that these tools don’t (yet) expose.

Here are a few practical options: 1. Narrow the scope to a single security or ETF. For instance, we could approximate “high-volume leaders” with an ETF such as SPY (S&P 500) or VTI (total market) and run a 1-day-hold strategy on that instrument. 2. Supply a fixed list of tickers (up to a few dozen) that you view as representative of high-volume stocks. 3. Export the raw data for the top-volume universe and run a custom portfolio back-test offline. I can guide you on the workflow but the execution would happen on your side.
